The Poor Man Commands Respect; The Beggar

America Is A Fortunate Country. She Grows By The Follies Of Our European Nations.

We Are Either Kings Or Pawns Of Men

Mankind Are In The End Always Governed By Superiority Of Intellectual Faculties, And None Are More Sensible Of This Than The Military Profession. When, On My Return From Italy, I Assumed The Dress Of The Institute, And Associated With Men Of Science, I Knew What I Was Doing: I Was Sure Of Not Being Misunderstood By The Lowest Drummer Boy In The Army.

The Greatest Ornament Of An Illustrious Life Is Modesty And Humility, Which Go A Great Way In The Character Even Of The Most Exalted Princes.

I Do Not Believe It Is In Our Nature To Love Impartially. We Deceive Ourselves When We Think We Can Love Two Beings, Even Our Own Children, Equally. There Is Always A Dominant Affection.
