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.

The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.

The works of nature must all be accounted good.

A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.
