There must be some good in the life of battle, for so many good men have enjoyed being soldiers.

All good men are international. Nearly all bad men are cosmopolitan. If we are to be international we must be national.

There are a good many fools who call me a friend, and also a good many friends who call me a fool.

It's not that we don't have enough scoundrels to curse; it's that we don't have enough good men to curse them.

A good man's work is effected by doing what he does, a woman's by being what she is.
