No sincere desire of doing good need make an enemy of a single human being; that philanthropy has surely a flaw in it which cannot sympathize with the oppressor equally as with the oppressed.
Not suffering, but faint heart, is worst of woes.
Freedom is the only law which genius knows.
Those who love are but one step from heaven.
And blessed are the horny hands of toil.
A friendship counting nearly forty years is the finest kind of shade-tree I know.
