Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality.

• A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.
• Faith is spiritualized imagination.
• The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
• Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.
• Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
• Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.
• Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.
• The advertisements in a newspaper are more full knowledge in respect to what is going on in a state or community than the editorial columns are.
• Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
• We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.
