Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are
Fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal
Never ruin an apology with an excuse
You may delay, but time will not
A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned
He that can have patience can have what he will
God gives sleep to the bad, in order that the good may be undisturbed
Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live
A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it
