 Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.

 Each person is born to one possession which out values all his others - his last breath

 Earn a character first if you can. And if you can't, assume one.

 Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned

 Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know; it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.

 Eloquence is the essential thing in a speech, not information

 Epitaphs are cheap, and they do a poor chap a world of good after he is dead, especially if he had hard luck while he was alive. I wish they were used more.

 Eternal rest sounds comforting in the pulpit; well, you try it once, and see how heavy time will hang on your hands

 Even Noah got no salary for the first six months partly on account of the weather and partly because he was learning navigation.

 Every citizen of the republic ought to consider himself an unofficial policeman, and keep unsalaried watch and ward over the laws and their execution

 Every time I reform in one direction I go overboard in another.

 Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.

 Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.

 Everything has its limit - iron ore cannot be educated into gold Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness.

 Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.
