God, that all-powerful Creator of nature and architect of the world, has impressed man with no character so proper to distinguish him from other animals, as by the faculty of speech.

Whilst we deliberate how to begin a thing, it grows too late to begin it.

We should not speak so that it is possible for the audience to understand us, but so that it is impossible for them to misunderstand us.

We excuse our sloth under the pretext of difficulty.

Write quickly and you will never write well; write well, and you will soon write quickly.

One should aim not at being possible to understand, but at being impossible to misunderstand.

While we are making up our minds as to when we shall begin. the opportunity is lost.

A mediocre speech supported by all the power of delivery will be more impressive than the best speech unaccompanied by such power.

Study depends on the goodwill of the student, a quality that cannot be secured by compulsion.

To deny me the right to err is therefore to deny me the right to believe.

A new era of responsibility is here.

The victory of endurance born.
