Have I done aught of value to my fellow-men? Then have I done much for myself.

He who prorogues the honesty of today till to-morrow will probably prorogue his to-morrows to eternity.

Kiss the hand of him who can renounce what he has publicly taught when convicted of his error, and who, with heartfelt joy, embraces truth, though with the sacrifice of favourite opinions.

He also has energy who cannot be deprived of it.

He who purposely cheats his friend would cheat his God.

Where pride begins, love ceases.

It is one of my favorite thoughts that God manifests Himself to men in all the wise, good, humble, generous, great, and magnanimous men.
