Quotes
- The grandest of all laws is the law of progressive development. Under it, in the wide sweep of things, men grow wiser as they grow older, and societies better.
- The use we make of our fortune determines as to its sufficiency. A little is enough if used wisely, and too much if expended foolishly.
- What is taken from the fortune, also, may haply be so much lifted from the soul. The greatness of a loss, as the proverb suggests, is determinable, not so much by what we have lost, as by what we have left.
