He is the purest figure in history. [About George Washington]

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

Remember the rights of the savage, as we call him. Remember that the happiness of his humble home, remember that the sanctity of life in the hill villages of Afghanistan, among the winter snows, is as inviolable in the eye of Almighty God, as can be your own.

No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes.

Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.

There should be a sympathy with freedom, a desire to give it scope, founded not upon visionary ideas, but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle, that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order.
