“We must be what we wish our children to be. They will form their characters from ours.”
John S.C. Abbott, The Mother at Home

“Anger is temporary insanity.”
John S.C. Abbott

“In the midst of this terrific scene, an aid rode up to Napoleon and said, "Desaix is dead." But a moment before they were conversing side by side. Napoleon pressed his forehead convulsively with his hand, and exclaimed, mournfully, "Why is it not permitted me to weep! Victory at such a price is dear.”
John S.C. Abbott, Napoleon Bonaparte
