"I am a Christian. I shall not return blow for blow."

"No one but me ever knew all his goodness, no one but himself ever knew how dearly I loved your father. We were more precious each to each than anything on earth; except His service, who gave us to one another."

"The only way to make people good, is to make them happy."

"Forgotten? No, we never do forget: We let the years go: wash them clean with tears, Leave them to bleach, out in the open day, Or lock them careful by, like dead friends clothes, Till we shall dare unfold them without pain— But we forget not, never can forget."

"A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without vision is but drudgery. A vision with a task is the hope of the world."

"Douglas, Douglas, tender and true!"
