“It is the mind that makes the body rich”

“Men are never very wise and select in the exercise of a new power”

“All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene”

“I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution”

“There are periods when to dare, is the highest wisdom”

“Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity”
