THE PEOPLE WOULD BE JUST AS NOISY IF THEY WERE GOING TO SEE ME HANGED.
No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going. Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged.
He who ceases to be better, ceases to be good.
Work hard, trust in God, and keep your bowels open.
A few honest men are better than numbers.
I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height nor yet in obscurity.
