Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking, or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity; to me, the female sex is not the weaker sex.

I once killed a man for snoring too loudly.

A man with a grain of faith in God never loses hope, because he ever believes in the ultimate triumph of Truth.

The spinning wheel is not meant to oust a single man or woman from his or her occupation.

Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood.

Man has reason, discrimination and free-will such as it is. The brute has no such thing. It is not a free agent, and knows no distinction between virtue and vice, good and evil. Man, being a free agent, knows these distinctions, and when he follows his higher nature, shows himself far superior to the brute, but when he follows his baser nature can show himself lower than the brute.

A courageous man prefers death to the surrender of self-respect.

I have found by experience that man makes his plans to be upset by God, but, at the same time, where the ultimate goal is the search of truth, on matter how a man's plans are frustrated the issue is never injurious and often better than anticipated.

A man who broods on evil is as bad a man who does evil, if he is no worse.
