Compassion to an offender who has grossly violated the laws is, in effect, a cruelty to the peaceable subject who has observed them.

Integrity is praised and then left out in the cold.

Let all your views in life be directed to a solid, however moderate, independence; without it no man can be happy, nor even honest.

The integrity of men is to be measured by their conduct, not by their professions.

It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.

Compassion to an offender who has grossly violated the laws is, in effect, a cruelty to the peaceable subject who has observed them.

How much easier is it to be generous than just.
