In his dealings with the world, the gentleman is not invariably for or against anything. He is on the side of what is moral.

There is nothing impossible in all the world except that the heart of man is wanting in resolution.

Do not treat others as you yourself would not be treated.

The higher type of man clings to virtue, the lower type of man clings to material comfort. The higher type of man cherishes justice, the lower type of man cherishes the hope of favors to be received.

An inconvenience is an unrecognized opportunity.

The main object of conciliation lies in reaching a solution to a case based upon morals and with a warm heart.

Virtue is more to man than either water or fire. I have seen men die from treading on water and fire, but I have never seen a man die from treading the course of virtue.
