Wisdom Consisteth Not In Knowing Many Things,

A Man's Vanity Tells Him What Is Honor, A Man's Conscience What Is Justice.

Of All Studies, The Most Delightful And The Most Useful Is Biography. The Seeds Of Great Events Lie Near The Surface; Historians Delve Too Deep For Them. No History Was Ever True. Lives I Have Read Which, If They Were Not, Had The Appearance, The Interest, And The Utility Of Truth.

We Talk On Principal, But Act On Motivation.

Cruelty Is No More The Cure Of Crimes Than It Is The Cure Of Sufferings; Compassion, In The First Instance, Is Good For Both; I Have Known It To Bring Compunction When Nothing Else Would.

We May Receive So Much Light As Not To See, And So Much Philosophy As To Be Worse Than Foolish.
