We are firm believers in the maxim that, for all right judgment of any man or thing, it is useful, nay, essential, to see his good qualities before pronouncing on his bad.

Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. It is character which builds an existence out of circumstance. From the same materials one man builds palaces, another hovels; one warehouses, another villas; bricks and mortar are mortar and bricks until the architect can make them something else.

He definitely has some character to him. Don't get me wrong, when he gets out here, he works.

Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.
