One thing I learned about riding is to look for trouble before it happens.

Study the best and highest things that are; but of yourself humble thoughts retain.

I went to school at this log school house. A white woman was my teacher, I do not remember her name. My father had to pay her one dollar a month for me. Us kids that went to school did not have desks, we used slates and set on the hued down logs for seats.

It is better to believe that a man does possess good qualities than to assert that he does not.
