At the devil's booth are all things sold. Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold.
James Russell LowellDemocracy is nothing more than an experiment in government, more likely to succeed in a new soil, but likely to be tried in all soils, which must stand or fall on its own merits as others have done before it. For there is no trick of perpetual motion in politics any more than in mechanics.
James Russell LowellGood luck is the willing handmaid of upright, energetic character, and conscientious observance of duty.
