Christ certainly did come to destroy the law and the prophets.

Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.

A man is a fool who sits looking backward from himself in the past. Ah, what shallow, vain conceit there is in man! Forget the things that are behind. That is not where you live. Your roots are not there. They are in the present; and you should reach up into the other life.

I think half the troubles for which men go slouching in prayer to God are caused by their intolerable pride. Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges. We let our blessings get mouldy, and then call them curses.

Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.

Never forget what a man has said to you when he was angry. If he has charged you with anything, you had better look it up.

Nowhere on the globe do men live so well as in America, or grumble so much.
