A sound heart is a surer guide than an ill-trained conscience.

I am able to say that while I am not ruggedly well, I am not ill enough to excite an undertaker.

We despise no source that can pay us a pleasing attention.

Public Servant: Persons chosen by the people to distribute the graft.

A religion that comes of thought, and study, and deliberate conviction, sticks best. The revivalized convert who is scared in the direction of heaven because he sees hell yawn suddenly behind him, not only regains confidence when his scare is over, but is ashamed of himself for being scared, and often becomes more hopelessly and malignantly wicked than he was before.

Our inner strengths, experiences, and truths cannot be lost, destroyed, or taken away. Every person has an inborn worth and can contribute to the human community. We all can treat one another with dignity and respect, provide opportunities to grow toward our fullest lives and help one another discover and develop our unique gifts. We each deserve this and we all can extend it to others.

Out of the public schools comes the greatness of the nation.
