We are going to end up with a very good superintendent for our district.

The good opinion of mankind, like the lever of Archimedes, with the given fulcrum, moves the world.

No one more sincerely wishes the spread of information among mankind than I do, and none has greater confidence in its effect towards supporting free and good government.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.

I have ever deemed it more honorable and more profitable, too, to set a good example than to follow a bad one.
