C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

John B. Gough

A man is what he is, not what men say he is. His character no man can touch. His character is what he is before his God and his Judge; and only himself can damage that. His reputation is what men say he is. That can be damaged; but reputation is for time, character is for eternity.

A man’s enemies have no power to harm him, if he is true to himself and loyal to God.

Intemperance weaves the winding-sheet of souls.

The evil of infatuation is illustrated by the drunkard.

What you learn from bad habits and in bad society you will never forget, and it will be a lasting pang to you.
