If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.Abraham Lincoln
Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.Abraham Lincoln
How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg.Abraham Lincoln
How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.Albert Camus
Upon the subjects of which I have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only sometimes to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them.Abraham Lincoln
Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.Albert Camus
