A land without memories is a people without liberty.

As a general principle you should not force young men to do their duty, but let them do it voluntarily and thereby develop their characters.

All this has been my fault.

The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.

Live in the world you inhabit. Look upon things as they are. Take them as you find them. Make the best of them. Turn them to your advantage.

Duty, then is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less.

For I consider the character of no man affected by a want of success, provided he has made an honest effort to succeed.
