Who's not sat tense before his own heart's curtain.

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.

A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.

True freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And, with heart and hand, to be Earnest to make others free!

Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship.

One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.

Before Man made us citizens, great Nature made us men.
