Sorrow makes men sincere.

Find out what your temptations are, and you will find out largely what you are yourself.

Only have enough of little virtues and common fidelities, and you need not mourn because you are neither a hero nor a saint.

Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War. It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant. It means justice. It means liberty. It means happiness.... Every color means liberty. Every thread means liberty. Every star and stripe means liberty.

Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it.

Watch lest prosperity destroy generosity.

Our moral faculties must be placed highest, else they can no more flourish than could a plant growing under the shade and drip of trees.
