The highest qualities of character...must be earned.

I abhor a hoe. I am fond of flowers but not of dirt, and had rather buy them than cultivate them.

I cannot harness a horse. I am afraid of a cow.

Every great sin ought to rouse a great anger. Mob law is better than no law at all. A community which rises in its wrath to punish with misdirected anger a great wrong is in a healthier moral condition than a community which looks upon its perpetration with apathy and unconcern.

Patience is passion tamed.

Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry.
