Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.

The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.

No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his body - to risk his well-being - to risk his life - in a great cause

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

If there is not the war, you don't get the great general; if there is not a great occasion, you don't get a great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name.
