Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years, Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy; He asks for that which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; He will have it entirely to Himself. He demands it unconditionally; and forthwith His demand is granted. Wonderful!

My success and everything good that I have done, I owe to my mother.

We frustrate many designs against us by pretending not to see them.

Nothing renders a nation so despicable as religious despotism.

If I had not been defeated in Acre against Jezzar Pasha of Turk. I would conquer all of the East.
