All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world.

We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

Applause waits on success.

Lost time is never found again.
