“It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs.”

“At fifteen, my mind was bent on learning.At thirty, I stood firm.At forty, I had no doubts.At fifty, I knew the decrees of Heaven.At sixty, my ear was receptive to truth.At seventy, I could follow my heart's desires without sin.”

“In the Book of Poetry there are three hundred poems, but the meaning of all of them may be put in a single sentence: Have no debasing thoughts.”

“It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.”

“Every great man is unique.”

“Always take the high road.”

“The mirror reflects all objects without being sullied”

“The sun shines upon good and bad alike.”

“I hate to hear people say this Judge will vote so and so, because he is a Democrat -- and this one so and so because he is a Republican. It is shameful. The Judges have the Constitution for their guidance; they have no right to any politics save the politics of rigid right and justice when they are sitting in judgment upon the great matters that come before them.”
