"We are glad now, and at all times, and it has been our policy to try and hold up the hand of the man who is cultivating the land."

"Most men who have really lived have had, in some shape, their great adventure. This railway is mine."

"I will make my mark on the face of this earth and no man will ever wipe it out!"
