"One must verify or expel his doubts, and convert them into the certainty of Yes or NO." — Thomas Carlyle

For all right judgment of any man or things it is useful, nay, essential, to see his good qualities before pronouncing on his bad.

The man of life upright has a guiltless heart, free from all dishonest deeds or thought of vanity.

Of all acts of man repentance is the most divine. The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none.
