Character is far more important than intellect in making a man a good citizen or successful at his calling- meaning by character not only such qualities as honesty and truthfulness, but courage, perseverance and self-reliance.

There are always in life countless tendencies for good and for evil, and each succeeding generation sees some of these tendencies strengthened and some weakened; nor is it by any means always, alas! that the tendencies for evil are weakened and those for good strengthened. But during the last few decades there certainly have been some notable changes for good in boy life. The great growth in the love of athletic sports, for instance, while fraught with danger if it becomes one-sided and unhealthy, has beyond all question had an excellent effect in increased manliness.

Just as you believe you may have already halfway there

No man is above the law, and no man is below it.

Every Man owes some of his time to the upbuilding of the profession to which he belongs.

If given the choice between Righteousness and Peace, I choose Righteousness.

Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.
