“Over all the mountain tops is peace.”

“Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born”

“The dear good people don't know how long it takes to learn to read. I've been at it eighty years, and can't say yet that I've reached the goal.”

“Every age is an unknown country.”

“And if that child should ever get the chance to travel the world and someone should ask her where is she from, we believe that she should always be able to hold her head high with pride in her voice when she answers, "I am an American."
