"My life has been a scene of constant drudgery and toil; I have no property, and no prospect of acquiring any."

"The acquisition of wealth, property, and reputation, is the engine of all industry and enterprise."

"The first duty of society is justice."

"I have been in an agony of mind for some days past, and have at length determined to open my heart to you."

"I have been the victim of the most base and vile calumnies."
