Honest intention will not cure faulty practice. — John Buchan

"Public life is regarded as the crown of a career, and to young men it is the worthiest ambition. Politics is still the greatest and the most honorable adventure."

"The robe of flesh wears thin, and with the years God shines through all things."

"We can pay our debts to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves."

"The Simple Life is the last refuge of complicated and restless souls."

"It is only a dying cause which can attain to perfect taste."

"We had our pride shattered, and without humility there can be no humanity."
