A bright future beckons. The onus is on us, through hard work, honesty and integrity, to reach for the stars.

I hate deception, even where the imagination only is concerned.

I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.

As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.

I once had the confidence of the people ... and if I have since done any thing, either by design or misadventure, which if known, would subject me to a forfeiture of that confidence, he that knows of that thing, and conceals it, is a traitor to his country's interest.
