James F. Cooper
God planted the seeds of all the trees, continued Hetty, after a moment's pause, and you see to what a height and shade they have grown! So it is with the Bible. You may read a verse this year, and forget it, and it will come back to you a year hence, when you least expect to remember it.
James F. Cooper
Death is appalling to those of the most iron nerves, when it comes quietly and in the stillness and solitude of night.

James F. Cooper
We are all human, and all do wrong.
James F. Cooper
I can't see no great difference atween givin' up territory afore a war, out of a dread of war, and givin' it up after a war, because we can't help it-unless it be that the last is the most manful and honourable.
James F. Cooper
History, like love, is so apt to surround her heroes with an atmosphere of imaginary brightness.
James F. Cooper
God has given the salt lick to the deer and He has given to man, red-skin and white, the delicious spring at which to slake his thirst.
James F. Cooper
Near the centre of that State of New York lies an extensive district of country, whose surface is a succession of hills and dales, or, to speak with greater deference to geographical definitions, of mountains and valleys.
James F. Cooper
The ability to discriminate between that which is true and that which is false is one of the last attainments of the human mind.
James F. Cooper
Christ, in the parable of the vine dressers, has taught us a sublime lesson of justice, by showing that to the things which are not our own, we can have no just claim.
James F. Cooper
If the newspapers are useful in overthrowing tyrants, it is only to establish a tyranny of their own.
James F. Cooper
All that a good government aims at... is to add no unnecessary and artificial aid to the force of its own unavoidable consequences, and to abstain from fortifying and accumulating social inequality as a means of increasing political inequalities.
James F. Cooper
Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.
