 . . . commerce dies the moment, and is sick in the degree in which men cannot trust each other.

 ''I can forgive, but I cannot forget,'' is only another way of saying, 'I cannot forgive.''

 "A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life."

 “By Labor the North has subdued Nature, changed a parsimonious soil to fertility, built dwellings for almost her whole population, raised the school-house, established the Church, encircled the globe with her ships, and made her books and her papers to be as blades of grass and as leave of the Summer for number. But in the South, labor, a badge of shame, is the father of misery. The slave labors, but with no cheer—it is not the road to respectability, it will honor him with no citizens’ trust, it brings no bread to his family, no grain to his garner, no leisure in after-days, no books or papers to his children. It opens no school-house door, builds no church, rears for him no factory, lays no keel, fills no bank, earns no acres. With sweat and toil and ignorance he consumes his life, to pour the earnings into channels from which he does no drink, into hands that never honor him. But perpetually rob and often torment.”

 [That for so many work is not a conscious choice but something that] happens ... work is not the curse, drudgery is.

 A cobweb is as good as the mightiest cable when there is strain upon it

 A cup of coffee - real coffee - home-browned, home ground, home made, that comes to you dark as a hazel-eye, but changes to a golden bronze as you temper it with cream that never cheated, but was real cream from its birth, thick, tenderly yellow, perfectly sweet, neither lumpy nor frothing on the Java: such a cup of coffee is a match for twenty blue devils and will exorcise them all.

 A forgiveness ought to be like a canceled note, torn in two and burned up, so that it never can be shown against the man.

 A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.

 A grindstone that had not grit in it, how long would it take to sharpen an ax? And affairs that had not grit in them, how long would they take to make a man?

 A helping word to one in trouble is often like a switch on a railroad track... an inch between wreck and smooth, rolling prosperity.
