More quotes by Tryon Edwards

Hell is truth seen too late — duty neglected in its season.

People never improve unless they look to some standard or example higher and better than themselves.

Facts are God’s arguments : we should be careful never to misunderstand or pervert them.

We never do evil so thoroughly and heartily as when led to it by an honest but perverted, because mistaken, conscience.

Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another – too often ending in the loss of both.
