When will society, like a mother, take care of all her children?

There may be frugality which is not economy. A community, that withholds the means of education from its children, withholds the bread of life and starves their souls.

You need not tell all the truth, unless to those who have a right to know it; but let all you tell be truth.

There is a deeper pleasure in following truth to the scaffold or the cross, than in joining the multitudinous retinue, and mingling our shouts with theirs, when victorious error celebrates its triumphs.

Patient perseverance in well doing is infinitely harder than a sudden and impulsive self-sacrifice.

Knowledge is a mimic creation.

The devil tempts men through their ambition, their cupidity, or their appetite, until he comes to the profane swearer, whom he clutches without any reward.
