«The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.»
«One of the prevailing sources of misery and crime is in the generally accepted assumption, that because things have been wrong a long time, it is impossible they will ever be right.»
«The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.»
«How false is the conception, how frantic the pursuit, of that treacherous phantom which men call Liberty: most treacherous, indeed, of all phantoms; for the feeblest ray of reason might surely show us, that not only its attainment, but its being, was impossible. There is no such thing in the universe. There can never be. The stars have it not; the earth has it not; the sea has it not; and we men have the mockery and semblance of it only for our heaviest punishment.»
«The sky is the part of creation in which nature has done for the sake of pleasing man.»
«No person who is well bred, kind and modest is ever offensively plain; all real deformity means want for manners or of heart.»
«It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.»
«It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.»
«The beginning and almost the end of all good law is that everyone shall work for their bread and receive good bread for their work.»
«It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.»
