The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ”

The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance. ”

The doors of wisdom are never shut. ”

Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion. ”

A child thinks 20 shillings and 20 years can scarce ever be spent. ”

Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it. ”

Danger is sauce for prayers. ”

In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it. ”

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly. ”

The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason. ”
