"Character is like a tree, and reputation..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“We shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.”

“The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.”

“I couldn't be two faced. If I had two faces, I wouldn't wear this one.”

“Too great refinement is false delicacy, and true delicacy is solid refinement.”

“The high-minded man does not bear grudges, for it is not the mark of a great soul to remember injuries, but to forget them.”

“Character is constructed amidst the tempests of the World”

“It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.”

“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.”

“First impressions never have a second chance.”
