“By the weight of his power, a ruler may wield the illusion of greatness. But the greatest among us never sat upon the throne, yet his spirit guided a nation more deeply than any who did — through the quiet strength of character, the courage of conviction, and the authentic love of the people. He reigned, yet never ruled — and that is the hallmark of greatness.”

“So we poked along back home, and I warn’t feeling so brash as I was before, but kind of ornery, and humble, and to blame, somehow—though I hadn’t done nothing. But that’s always the way; it don’t make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person’s conscience ain’t got no sense, and just goes for him anyway. If I had a yaller dog that didn’t know no more than a person’s conscience does, I would pison him. It takes up more room than all the rest of a person’s insides, and yet ain’t no good, nohow.”
