QUOTES

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end.

Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.

It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.

It lies around us like a cloud— A world we do not see; Yet the sweet closing of an eye May bring us there to be.
