“Men keep their engagements when it is an advantage to both parties not to break them.”

In all things that you do, consider the end.

Consider your honour, as a gentleman, of more weight than an oath.

Poets tell many lies.

He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.

In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.

I grow old learning something new every day.

He that will sell his fame will also sell the public interest.

If all men were to bring their miseries together in one place, most would be glad to take each his own home again rather than take a portion out of the common stock.

Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.

Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.

I grow old, ever learning many things.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

Each day grow older, and learn something new.

Many evil men are rich, and good men poor, but we shall not exchange with them our excellence for riches.

I’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.

Love and politics are the two great figures of social engagement.

I grew up in Minnesota, where we treasure our tradition of civic engagement – and our record of having the nation’s highest voter participation.
