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.

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

When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals.

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.

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

You may never be good enough for everybody, but you will always be the best for somebody.
