It Is Fortune, Not Wisdom,

The Impulse Which Directs To Right Conduct, And Deters From Crime, Is Not Only Older Than The Ages Of Nations And Cities, But Coeval With That Divine Being Who Sees And Rules Both Heaven And Earth.

Gratitude Is Not Only The Greatest Of Virtues, But The Parent Of All The Others.

He Has No Other Recommendation, Save An Assumed And Crafty Solemnity Of Demeanour.

Nothing Is More Noble, Nothing More Venerable Than Fidelity.

No Obligation To Do The Impossible Is Binding.
