Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.

There is no sanctuary of virtue like home.

I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Your monuments upon my breast,
Nor yet within the common soil
Lay down the wreck of power to rest . . .
