“My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.”

“Never run away from anything. Never!”

“Mountaintops inspire leaders but valleys mature them.”

“Every fact and every work exercises a fresh persuasion over every age and every new species of man. History always enunciates new truths.”

“In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to a poor family of the name of Canty, who did not want him.”

“A man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice.”

“The past is always with us, for nothing that once was time can ever depart.”

“Most people, probably, are in doubt about certain matters ascribed to their past. They may have seen them, may have said them, done them, or they may only have dreamed or imagined they did so.”

“We are shaping the world faster than we can change ourselves, and we are applying to the present the habits of the past.”
