I never knew a man go for an honest day’s walk for whatever distance, great or small, and not have his reward in the repossession of his soul.

There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men, and by acting with promptitude, decision, and steadiness on that belief.

Have the strength to be an honest person.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
