I hope that the memory of our friendship will be everlasting.

If our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.

The evil implanted in man by nature spreads so imperceptibly, when the habit of wrong-doing is unchecked, that he himself can set no limit to his shamelessness.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. It will steal you blind.

If I err in belief that the souls of men are immortal, I gladly err, nor do I wish this error which gives me pleasure to be wrested from me while I live.

True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.

If you wish to persuade me, you must think my thoughts, feel my feelings, and speak my words.
