"To be alone as a pioneerlike we were, was difficult. My strategy was not only to help the people, or transform the world, but to do both"

Honesty is not only the deepest policy, but the highest wisdom; since, however difficult it may be for integrity to get on, it is a thousand times more difficult for knavery to get off; and no error is more fatal than that of those who think that Virtue has no other reward because they have heard that she is her own.
