"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself" — Henry Ward Beecher

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.

Idleness is sweet, and its consequences are cruel

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life

Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself

I always voted at my party's call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.
