“I cannot consent to place in control of others one who cannot control himself.”

"I like whiskey. I always did, and that is why I never drink it."

"Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character."

“It is particularly incumbant on those charged with the instruction of the young to set an example of submission to authority.”

"You cannot be a true man until you learn to obey."

"Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one."

"In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength."
