Let patriotism have its high days and freedom its monuments, and let the triumphs of navigators and generals be annually observed but surely, beyond all these, a season that stands for as much to the race as Easter does may well be remembered each year with songs and flowers and with every mark of gratitude and of loftiest jubilation.

Culture is not a matter of a change of climate.
George Horace Lorimer
Back of every noble life there are principles that have fashioned it.
George Horace Lorimer
The great secret of good management is to be more alert to prevent a man's going wrong than eager to punish him for it.
George Horace Lorimer
Some men are like oak leaves -- they don't know when they're dead, but still hang right on and there are others who let go before anything has really touched them.
George Horace Lorimer
Because a fellow has failed once or twice or a dozen times, you don't want to set him down as a failure till he's dead or loses his courage.
George Horace Lorimer
Beginning before you know what you want to say and keeping on after you have said it lands a merchant in a lawsuit or the poorhouse, and the first is a shortcut to the second.
George Horace Lorimer
There is one excuse for every mistake a man can make, but only one. When a fellow makes the same mistake twice he's got to throw up both hands and own up to carelessness or cussedness.
