“I do not wish any reward but to know I have done the right thing.”
“I have been made to realize tonight that there are limits to what I wish to do or see done for any cause.”
“The reward of a thing well done is having done it.”
“Our civilization has decided, and very justly decided, that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men. It wishes for light upon that awful matter, it asks men who know no more law than I know, but who can feel the thing that I felt in that jury box. When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
“I wish I could take back the horrible things I've done to people. I wish I could go back in time and make things right, because even though I've been trying to, I might be making everything worse.”
“There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life.”
