History

What are all histories but God manifesting himself, shaking down and trampling under foot whatsoever he hath not planted.

Self-Reliance

Trust in God, but keep your powder dry.

Does a man speak foolishly?—suffer him gladly, for you are wise. Does he speak erroneously?—stop such a man's mouth with sound words that cannot be gainsaid. Does he speak truly?—rejoice in the truth.
