There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.

Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

The first duty of a university is to teach wisdom, not trade; character, not technicalities.

All the greatest things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honour; duty; mercy; hope.

We have enough objects of charity at home, and it is our duty to take care of our own poor, and our own suffering, before we go abroad to intermeddle with other people's business.

Live up to your convictions. You walk in grace or you walk in fear. You can't have it both ways.
