The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow

The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.

The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion

Suspicion is a mental picture seen through an imaginary keyhole

Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society
