Never respect men merely for their riches, but rather for their philanthropy; we do not value the sun for its height, but for its use.

The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat oneself.

There is a large body of abolitionists in Clinton and Clark Counties in this state, and in Wayne County Indiana, that would undoubtedly support such a store, but whether their support would be sufficient, I am unable to say.

That a majority of the Abolitionists in this place would patronize a free labor store, in preference to others, I do not doubt; but we do not muster money in Cincinnati.

In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.

Faith is a higher faculty than reason.
