No one can disgrace us but ourselves.

God give us men. A time like this demands Strong minds great hearts true faith and ready hands! Men whom the lust of office does not kill Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy Men who possess opinions and a will Men who love honor men who cannot lie.

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time and all things in succession. That which grows slowly endures.

The mind grows by what it feeds on.

The heart is wiser than the intellect.

God gives every bird its food but he does not throw it into the nest.
