    “There is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. Twenty five years ago, I was a hired laborer. The hired laborer of yesterday, labors on his own account today; and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow. Advancement—improvement in condition—is the order of things in a society of equals.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “We do not praise others, ordinarily, but in order to be praised ourselves.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “A battle won is a battle which we will not acknowledge to be lost.”
    —Ferdinand Foch (1851–1929)
