"A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation."
"A politician thinks of the next election; a statement of the next generation. A politician looks for the success of his party; a statesman for that of his country. The statesman wishes to steer, while the politician is satisfied to drift."
"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today."
"Let us not torment each other because we are not all alike, but believe that God knew best what He was doing in making us so different. So will the best harmony come out of seeming discords, the best affection out of differences, the best life out of struggle, and the best work will be done when each does his own work, and lets every one else do and be what God made him for."
"Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well."
