“In this world truth can wait; she is used to it.”

“It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of truth”

“In sorrow he learned this truth: Though one may return to the place of his birth, he cannot go back to his youth”

“A lie travels round the world, while truth is putting on her boots”

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts”

“It is wrong always, everywhere, and for everyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence”
