Read history, works of truth, not novels and romances

No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.

My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.

We must look to the rising generation for the restoration of the country.

Every student must be a gentleman.

A Union that can only be maintained by swords and bayonets, and in which strife and civil war are to take the place of brotherly love and kindness, has no charm for me.

My heart bleeds at the death of every one of our gallant men.
