"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." "The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave.

"As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality." Top 5 quotes from Morality "If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble."

"The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad."
