An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run.

God does not weigh criminality in our scales. We have one absolute, with the seal of authority upon it; and with us an ounce is an ounce, and a pound a pound. God's measure is the heart of the offender,--a balance which varies with every one of us, a balance so delicate that a tear cast in the other side may make the weight of error kick the beam.

Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne.

A great part of human suffering has its root in the nature of man, and not in that of his institutions.

Nature fits all her children with something to do, he who would write and can't write, can surely review.

Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
