Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Not a change for the better in our human housekeeping has ever taken place that wise and good men have not opposed it—have not prophesied that the world would wake up to find its throat cut in consequence.

Time will reveal everything. It is a babbler and speaks even when not asked.

Every man takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.

The less a man knows about the past and the present, the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.
