  • When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism.

  • It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.

  • Reason, observation, and experience the holy trinity of science.

  • When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism.

  • If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn't pay Smith.
