Simmons, Charles

Quotes:

"True greatness consists in being great in little things."

"Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty."

"Much of the wisdom of one age, is the folly of the next."

"Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage."

"Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence, and usefulness; a little attention and energy will form the habit, so as to make it easy and delightful."

"Both mind and heart when given up to reveries and dreaminess, have a thousand avenues open for the entrance of evil."
