The woman who is resolved to be respected can make herself be so even amidst an army of soldiers.
Behind the cross is the devil.
Seek for good, but expect evil.
Honesty is the best policy, I will stick to that. The good shall have my hand and heart, but the bad neither foot nor fellowship. And in my mind, the main point of governing, is to make a good beginning.
I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.
When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.
