The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.

The longer we live the more we must endure the elementary existence of men and women; and every brave heart must treat society asa child, and never allow it to dictate.

Each mind has its own method. A true man never acquires after college rules.

As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods.

Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.

We acquire the strength we have overcome.

There is no true orator who is not a hero.
