Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers.

For my part, I could easily do without the post-office. I think that there are very few important communications made through it.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

I should consider it a greater success to interest one wise and earnest soul, than a million unwise and frivolous.

I would stand upon facts.

The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.
