We must learn that competence is better than extravagance, that worth is better than wealth, that the golden calf we have worshiped has no more brains than that one of old which the Hebrews worshiped.

Self-condemnation is God's absolution; and pleading guilty, acquittal at his bar.

Private sincerity is a public welfare.

Patience is nobler motion than any deed.
