To Be Good, And Do

What Is Meat For One Is Not For Another--no Accounting For Fancy.

These Are Times In Which A Genius Would Wish To Live. It Is Not In The Still Calm Of Life, Or The Repose Of A Pacific Station, That Great Characters Are Formed.

What Is It That Affectionate Parents Require Of Their Children; For All Their Care, Anxiety, And Toil On Their Accounts? Only That They Would Be Wise And Virtuous, Benevolent And Kind.

But Let No Person Say What They Would Or Would Not Do, Since We Are Not Judges For Ourselves Until Circumstances Call Us To Act.

History Is Not A Web Woven With Innocent Hands. Among All The Causes Which Degrade And Demoralize Men, Power Is The Most Constant And Most Active.
