There is nothing that makes more cowards and feeble men than public opinion

Nothing dies so hard, or rallies so often, as intolerance

It is not well for a man to pray, cream; and live skim milk

Genius unexerted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks.

Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.

Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.

Mirth is the sweet wine of human life. It should be offered sparkling with zestful life unto God.

The moment an ill can be patiently handled, it is disarmed of its poison, though not of its pain.

We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.

“By Labor the North has subdued Nature, changed a parsimonious soil to fertility, built dwellings for almost her whole population, raised the school-house, established the Church, encircled the globe with her ships, and made her books and her papers to be as blades of grass and as leave of the Summer for number. But in the South, labor, a badge of shame, is the father of misery. The slave labors, but with no cheer—it is not the road to respectability, it will honor him with no citizens’ trust, it brings no bread to his family, no grain to his garner, no leisure in after-days, no books or papers to his children. It opens no school-house door, builds no church, rears for him no factory, lays no keel, fills no bank, earns no acres. With sweat and toil and ignorance he consumes his life, to pour the earnings into channels from which he does no drink, into hands that never honor him. But perpetually rob and often torment.”
