"Few man have virtue to withstand the highest bidder" — George Washington

Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues

Trust no future, however pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act, act in the living present! Heart within and God overhead

Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men

Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens

Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?
