Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom. - Thomas Jefferson

"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers."

"The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money."

"The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do."

"I cannot live without books."
