Never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you very much at your own reckoning.

Another quote from 1862

If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!
