If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how -- the very best I can.

If the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference. (Sockman Ralph W.)
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it. (Sockman Ralph W.)

Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work. (Sockman Ralph W.)
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize. (Sockman Ralph W.)
If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny. (Sockman Ralph W.)
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered. (Sockman Ralph W.)
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries. (Sockman Ralph W.)
He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun; (Sockman Ralph W.)
