Famous quote by John G. Pollard

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.

William Ellery Channing quotes

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy the communion with superior minds. In the best books, authors talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours. God be thanked for books.

I have expressed my strong interest in the mass of the people; and this is founded, not on their usefulness to the community, so much as on what they are in themselves... Indeed every man (sic), in every condition, is great. It is only our own diseased sight which makes him little. A man is great as a man, be he where or what he may. The grandeur of his nature turns to insignificance all outward distinctions.

All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene.

Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
