Others can get in your way temporarily, but only you can get out of your way permanently. Our best thoughts come from others.

Good thoughts are no better than good dreams if you don't follow through.

To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men that is genius.

The faith that stands on authority is not faith.

We all need someone who can help us do what we already can.

The religion of England is part of good-breeding.

For what avail the plough or sail, or land or life, if freedom fail?
