He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/1076/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/1076/ <![CDATA[The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other mens labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatable things, called by the same nameliberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatable namesliberty and tyranny. ]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/44419/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/44419/ <![CDATA[As long as men still feel they are nothing without a call to duty, they will look for a place in the world where they find themselves excellent at something.

Lords without anger and honor, who dare not carry their swords.

Why do they live in luxury? Why do they not toil with me? It is because they who have not put down their names to strive for the crown are not bound to undergo the labors of the contest. They who have not gone down into the race-course do not annoint themselves with oil nor get covered with dust. For those whom glory awaits trouble is at hand. The perfumed spectators are wont to look on, not to join in the struggle, nor to endure the sun, the heat, the dust, and the showers ...]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46413/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46413/ <![CDATA[He that speaks much, is much mistaken.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/37034/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/37034/ <![CDATA[A just cause is not ruined by a few mistakes.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/33196/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/33196/ <![CDATA[Love bears it out even to the edge of doom.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24805/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/24805/ <![CDATA[That so few now dare to be eccentric, marks the chief danger of the time.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20765/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20765/ <![CDATA[What ever crushes individuality is despotism, no matter what name it is called.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20766/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20766/ <![CDATA[The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it -- a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes -- will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/37330/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/37330/ <![CDATA[One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4137/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4137/ <![CDATA[Fear only two: God, and the man who has no fear of God.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/14836/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/14836/ <![CDATA[Industry is fortunes right hand, and frugality its left.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/42293/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/42293/ <![CDATA[A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/39433/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/39433/ <![CDATA[One sword keeps another in the sheath.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/29636/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/29636/ <![CDATA[O, but man, proud man!

There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain.

Mother's cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/28286/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/28286/ <![CDATA[Hope, the best comfort of our imperfect condition.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46321/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/46321/ <![CDATA[There is much to be said in favor of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/21731/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/21731/ <![CDATA[Through our sunless lanes creeps Poverty with her hungry eyes, and Sin with his sodden face follows close behind her.
