QUOTES

“In a world where there is so much to be done, I felt strongly impressed that there must be something for me to do”

“A man usually values that most for which he has labored; he uses that most frugally which he has toiled hour by hour and day by day to acquire.”

“Man is not made better by being degraded; he is seldom restrained from crime by harsh measures, except the principle of fear predominates in his character; and then he is never made radically better for its influence.”

“While we diminish the stimulant of fear, we must increase to prisoners the incitements of hope, in proportion as we extinguish the terrors of the law, we should awaken and strengthen the control of the conscience.”
