All great things are simple and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honour, duty, mercy, hope

Altough prepared for martyrdom I prefered that it be postponed

All would live long but none would be old

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools

Force is all-conquering but its victories are short-lived

He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met
