Above All, Let The Poor Hang Up

On The Face Of It, It Must Be A Bad Cause Which Will Not Bear Discussion. Truth Seeks Light Instead Of Shunning It.

If You Wish To Write Well, Study The Life About You,--life In The Public Streets.

In Such A World As Ours The Idle Man Is Not So Much A Biped As A Bivalve; And The Wealth Which Breeds Idleness, Of Which The English Peerage Is An Example, And Of Which We Are Beginning To Abound In Specimens In This Country, Is Only A Sort Of Human Oyster Bed, Where Heirs And Heiresses Are Planted, To Spend A Contemptible Life Of Slothfulness In Growing Plump And Succulent For The Grave-worms' Banquet.

To Pity Distress Is But Human; To Relieve It Is Godlike.

Let But The Public Mind Become Once Thoroughly Corrupt, And All Attempts To Secure Property, Liberty Or Life, By Mere Force Of Laws Written On Parchment, Will Be As Vain As To Put Up Printed Notices In An Orchard To Keep Off The Canker-worms.
