Do Anything Rather Than Give

To Give A Generous Hope To A Man Of His Own Nature, Is To Enrich Him Immeasurably.

No One Should Part With Their Individuality And Become That Of Another.

It Is Far More Important To Me To Preserve An Unblemished Conscience Than To Compass Any Object However Great.

The Sin That Now Rises To Memory As Your Bosom Sin, Let This First Of All Be Withstood And Mastered. Oppose It Instantly By A Detestation Of It, By A Firm Will To Conquer It, By Reflection, By Reason, And By Prayer.

Poetry Reveals To Us The Loveliness Of Nature, Brings Back The Freshness Of Youthful Feelings, Reviews The Relish Of Simple Pleasures, Keeps Unquenched The Enthusiasm Which Warmed The Springtime Of Our Being, Refines Youthful Love, Strengthens Our Interest In Human Mature, By Vivid Delineations Of Its Tenderest And Softest Feelings, And Through The Brightness Of Its Prophetic Visions, Helps Faith To Lay Hold On The Future Life.
