I am worth inconceivably more to hang than for any other purpose.

I will answer anything I can with honor, but not about others.

I have been whipped, as the saying is, but I am sure I can recover all the lost capital occasioned by that disaster; by only hanging a few moments by the neck; and I feel quite determined to make the utmost possible out of a defeat.

I think every family should have a dog; it is like having a perpetual baby; it is the plaything and crony of the whole house. It keeps them all young.

Holiness does not consist in mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervours, or uncommanded austerities; it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills.

I cannot remember a night so dark as to have hindered the coming day.

There is a shrine in the temple of age, where lie forever embalmed the memories of such as have deserved well of their country and their race.
