If wrinkles must be written on our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.
The men who succeed best in public life are those who take the risk of standing by their own convictions.
You and I are now nearly in middle age, and have not yet become soured and shrivelled with the wear and tear of life. Let us pray to be delivered from that condition where life and nature have no fresh, sweet sensations for us.
