There are many kinds of success in life worth having. It is exceedingly interesting
and attractive to be a successful businessman, or railway man, or farmer, or
a successful lawyer or doctor; or a writer, or a President, or a ranchman, or the
colonel of a fighting regiment, or to kill grizzly bears and lions. But for unflagging
interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well,
certainly makes all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance
by comparison.

Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right

One of the chief factors in progress is the destruction of special privilege. The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty has always been, and must always be, to take from some one man or class of men the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or immunity, which has not been earned by service to his or their fellows.

There are good citizens and bad citizens in every class as in every locality, and the attitude of decent people toward great public and social questions should be determined, not by the accidental questions of employment or locality, but by those deep-set principles which represent the innermost souls of men.
