|  No true and permanent fame can be founded except in labors which promote the happiness of mankind. | | From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise. It is by compromise that human rights have been abandoned. | | The age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come. | | I have never known a man who was sensual in his youth, who was high-minded when old. | | The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man. |
