“When much virtue is achieved, nothing is not overcome.”

“Stretch the bow to the very full, and you will wish you had stopped in time.”

“If I have erred, I err in company with Abraham Lincoln.”

“None shall rule but the humble,And none but Toil shall have.”

“How little we know of what there is to know.”

“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.”

“Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apology for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes. This conspicuous chair is their compensation to themselves for being of a poor, cold, hard nature.”

“The most attractive class of people are those who are powerful obliquely, and not by the direct stroke: men of genius, but not yetaccredited: one gets the cheer of their light, without paying too great a tax.”
