I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State; and as for the man who sets private friendship above the public welfare - I have no use for him either.
Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.
Enemies gifts are no gifts and do no good.
Ignorant men do not know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.
A word does not frighten the man who, in acting feels no fear.
To know that all is well, even if late will come to know it, is at least some gain.
