• Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
• My creed is that: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so.

• An honest God is the noblest work of man.
• It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.
• Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.

• The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.
• We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.
• It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.
