I don't know a greater advantage, than to appreciate the worth of an enemy.

I never believed in trying to do anything. Whatever I set out to do I found I had already accomplished.

Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.

Time flies, and what is past is done.

What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.

Faith is hidden household capital.
