Who never walks save where he sees men's tracks makes no discoveries.

Almost everywhere men have become the particular things which their particular work has made them.

The idle man stands outside of God's plan, outside of the ordained scheme of things; and the truest self-respect, the noblest independence, and the most genuine dignity, are not to be found there.

There is no great achievement that is not the result of patient working and waiting.

No man ever feels the restraint of law so long as he remains within the sphere of his liberty -- a sphere, by the way, always large enough for the full exercise of his powers and the supply of all his legitimate wants.

The moment that law is destroyed, liberty is lost, and men, left free to enter upon the domains of each other, destroy each other's rights, and invade the field of each other's liberty.

Labor is the instituted means for the methodical development of all our powers under the direction and control of the will.
