Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn’t original sin. He’s born with the tragedy that he has to grow up... a lot of people don’t have the courage to do it.

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.

All the brothers were valiant, and all the sisters virtuous.

Be valiant, but not too venturous. Let thy attire be comely, but not costly.
