«It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade.»
«Fear is a kind of bell ... it is the soul's signal for rallying.»

«A forgiveness ought to be like a canceled note, torn in two and burned up, so that it never can be shown against the man.»
«Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.»
