Character Is Itself A Fortune.

The Possession Of A Library, Or The Free Use Of It, No More Constitutes Learning, Than The Possession Of Wealth Constitutes Generosity.

Necessity Is Always The First Stimulus To Industry, And Those Who Conduct It With Prudence, Perseverance And Energy Will Rarely Fail. Viewed In This Light, The Necessity Of Labor Is Not A Chastisement, But A Blessing,--the Very Root And Spring Of All That We Call Progress In Individuals And Civilization In Nations.

I See Nothing Quite Conclusive In The Art Of Temporal Government, But Violence, Duplicity And Frequent Malversation. King Rules Or Barons Rule: The Strong Man Strongly And The Weak Man By Caprice. They Have But One Law, To Seize The Power And Keep It.

Life Is Of Little Value Unless It Be Consecrated By Duty.

Self-control Is Only Courage Under Another Form. It May Also Be Regarded As The Primary Essence Of Character.
