A few honest men are better than numbers.

Because I fear God, I have no man to fear.

No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going.

My prayer is that God give me no longer life than I shall be glad to use mine office in edification, and not in destruction.

Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged.

I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government.

I have learned that if you fear God, you have no one else to fear.
