“Don't judge men's wealth or godliness by their Sunday appearance.”

“Praise to the undeserving is severe satire.”

“Maybe it’s that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.”

“Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.”

“With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.”

“You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?”
