Magnanimity Is Above Circumstance; And

Dr. Johnson Has Said That The Chief Glory Of A Country Arises From Its Authors. But Then That Is Only As They Are Oracles Of Wisdom; Unless They Teach Virtue, They Are More Worthy Of A Halter Than Of The Laurel.

Lachrymal Counsellors, With One Foot In The Cave Of Despair, And The Other Invading The Peace Of Their Friends, Are The Paralyzers Of Action, The Pests Of Society, And The Subtlest Homicides In The World; They Poison With A Tear; And Convey A Dagger To The Heart While They Press You To Their Bosoms.

Goodness Is Equally Hateful To The Wicked, As Vice Is To The Virtuous.

True Virtue, When She Errs, Needs Not The Eyes Of Men To Excite Her Blushes; She Is Confounded At Her Own Presence, And Covered With Confusion Of Face.

That Grief Is The Most Durable Which Flows Inward, And Buries Its Streams With Its Fountain, In The Depths Of The Heart.
