He has lost his left arm, but I my right.

The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He cannot only forgive, he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which impart sufficient strength to let the past be but the past. A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.

The devil's name is dullness.

The education of a man is never completed until he dies.

The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.

Private and public life are subject to the same rules-truth and manliness are two qualities that will carry you through this world much better than policy or tact of expediency or other words that were devised to conceal a deviation from a straight line.

I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.
