Vivere est cogitare. (To think is to live)

There has never been a poet or orator who thought another better than himself.

It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.

I hate all children of precocious talent.

Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.

There is a difference between justice and consideration in one's relations to one's fellow men. It is the function of justice not to do wrong to one's fellow men of considerateness, not to wound their feelings.

Sweet is the memory of past troubles.
