If any young man is about to commence the world, we say to him, publicly and privately, Go to the West

Fame is a vapor, popularity is an accident, riches take wings, those who cheer today may curse tomorrow and only one thing endures - character.

The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.

There is no bigotry like that of "free thought" run to seed.

Answering a letter from a church asking what else they should try after having failed to raise enough money on bake sales, bazaars, suppers, etc. Why not try religion?

I do not regret having braved public opinion, when I knew it was wrong and was sure it would be merciless.

Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
