E. W. Howe
  • A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country.

  • One of the surprising things in this world is the respect a worthless man has for himself.

  • When a man has no reason to trust himself, he trusts in luck.

  • A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around.

  • The greatest humiliation in life, is to work hard on something from which you expect great appreciation, and then fail to get it.
