Applying good sense to religion and religion to life. This is the field in which I design to labor

The great man is to be the servant of mankind, not they of him.

There never was a great truth but it was reverenced; never a great institution, nor a great man, that did not, sooner or later, receive the reverence of mankind.

The earnestness of life is the only passport to satisfaction of life.

I am conscious of eternal life.

I believe in the admission of women to the full rights of citizenship and share in government, on the express grounds that few women keep house so badly or with such wastefulness as chancellors of the exchequer keep the state.

In all the world there is nothing so remarkable as a great man, nothing so rare, nothing which so well repays study.
