Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

All true religion must stand on true morality.

Nowhere else can one find so miscellaneous, so various, an amount of knowledge as is contained in a good newspaper.

Intelligence increases mere physical ability one half. The use of the head abridges the labor of the hands.

That endless book, the newspaper, is our national glory.

A gamester, as such, is the cool, calculating, essential spirit of concentrated, avaricious selfishness.

The grossest, the cruelest, the most selfish, the most easily pervertible and perverted thing in this world, is government.
