There is really nothing left to a genuine idle man, who possesses any considerable degree of vital power, but sin.

A young man rarely gets a better vision of himself than that which is reflected from a true woman's eyes; for God himself sits behind them.

A woman in love is a very poor judge of character.

A man does not necessarily sin who does that which our reason and our conscience condemn.

Responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power.

Every man who strikes blows for power, for influence, for institutions, for the right, must be just as good an anvil as he is a hammer.
