You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.

My chief concern is to try to be an humble, earnest Christian.

I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.

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

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

Duty is the sublimest work in the English language.

There is a true glory and a true honor: the glory of duty done--the honor of the integrity of principle.
