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

I am now considered such a monster, that I hesitate to darken with my shadow, the doors of those I love, lest I should bring upon them misfortune.

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

We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.

The trite saying that 'honesty is the best policy' has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The seems to be true. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.

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

A man may manifest and communicate his joy, but he should conceal and smother his grief as much as possible.
