If liberty with law is fire on the hearth, liberty without law is fire on the floor.
George Stillman HillardThere are pictures by Titian so steeped in golden splendors, that they look as if they would light up a dark room like a solar lamp.
George Stillman HillardA great man is a gift, in some measure a revelation of God. A great man, living for high ends, is the divinest thing that can be seen on earth. The value and interest of history are derived chiefly from the lives and services of the eminent men whom it commemorates. Indeed, without these, there would be no such thing as history, and the progress of a nation would be little worth recording, as the march of a trading caravan across a desert.
