I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.

In questions of power$$$ let no more be heard of confidence in man$$$ but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.

But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.

We confide in our strength$$$ without boasting of it$$$ we respect that of others$$$ without fearing it.

Everything yields to diligence.

Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.

Where the press is free and every man able to read$$$ all is safe.

He who receives an idea from me$$$ receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine$$$ receives light without darkening me.

An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.

Nothing that happens to a writer -- however happy$$$ however tragic -- is ever wasted.
