William R. Alger

The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; its poverty by how little.

Public opinion is a second conscience.

After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.

Words of love, are works of love.

The line of life is a ragged diagonal between duty and desire.

To appreciate and use correctly a valuable maxim requires a genius; a vital appropriating exercise of mind closely allied to that which first created it.

What is the highest secret to victory and peace? To will what God wills, and strike a league with destiny.

False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.
