The civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.

It was not meant that the soul should cultivate the earth, but that the earth should educate and maintain the soul.

It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.

Our friends should be our incentives to right, but not only our guiding, but our prophetic, stars. To love by right is much, to love by faith is more; both are the entire love, without which heart, mind, and soul cannot be alike satisfied. We love and ought to love one another, not merely for the absolute worth of each, but on account of a mutual fitness of temporary character.

It should be remarked that, as the principle of liberty is better understood, and more nobly interpreted, a broader protest is made in behalf of women. As men become aware that few have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance.

Man is not made for society, but society is made for man. No institution can be good which does not tend to improve the individual.

While any one is base, none can be entirely free and noble.
