The newspapers print what the people want, and thus does the savage still swing his club and flourish his spear. - Elbert Green Hubbard

Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.

The point I wish to make is this: McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter & did not ask, "Where is he at?" By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and the statue placed in every college of the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing — "Carry a message to Garcia!"

Making men live in three worlds at once — past, present and future has been the chief harm organized religion has done.
