“The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest”

“Life has a higher end, than to be amused”

“Every human being has a work to carry on within, duties to perform abroad, influence to exert, which are peculiarly his, and which no conscience but his own can teach”

“Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself”

“All men were created to busy themselves with labor for the common good”

“So free we seem, so fettered fast we are”
