[N]ever does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury. - Edwin Hubbell Chapin

I know a good many people, I think, who are bigots, and who know they are bigots, and are sorry for it, but they dare not be anything else.

There is no tariff so injurious as that with which sectarian bigotry guards its commodities. It dwarfs the soul by shutting out truths from other continents of thought, and checks the circulation of its own.

Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
