Read History, Works Of Truth, Not Novels And Romances

For I Consider The Character Of No Man Affected By A Want Of Success, Provided He Has Made An Honest Effort To Succeed.

I Believe I May So, Looking Into My Own Heart, And Speaking As In The Presence Of God, That I Have Never Know One Moment Of Bitterness Or Resentment.

Never Do A Wrong Thing To Make A Friend Or To Keep One.
