My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'.

Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.

Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood.

The life of millions is my politics, from which I dare not free myself without denying my life-work and God.

Is not labour, like learning, its own reward?

The first condition of humaneness is a little humility and a little diffidence about the correctness of one's conduct and a little receptiveness.

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.
