We love peace, as we abhor pusillanimity; but not peace at any price.

There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.

Wit, like money, bears an extra value when rung down immediately it is wanted. Men pay severely who require credit.

A pill that the present moment is daily bread to thousands.

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

He who owns the soil, owns up to the sky.

Man owes two solemn debts--one to society, and one to-nature. It is only when he pays the second that he covers the first.
