Nothing Stings Us So Bitterly

Truth, They Say, Is But Too Often In Difficulties, But Is Never Finally Suppressed.

The Sun Has Not Yet Set For All Time.

Friends Should Be Judged By Their Acts, Not Their Words.

That Sense – The Only True Patriotism – Comes Slowly And Springs From The Heart: It Is Founded Upon Respect For The Family And Love For The Soil. Premature ‘liberty’ Of This Kind Would Have Been A Disaster: We Should Have Been Torn To Pieces By Petty Squabbles Before We Had Ever Reached Political Maturity, Which, As Things Were, As Made Possible By The Long Quiet Years Under Monarchical Government; For It Was That Government Which, As It Were, Nursed Our Strength And Enabled Us Ultimately To Produce Sound Fruit From Liberty, As Only A Politically Adult Nation Can.

We Can Endure Neither Our Vices Nor Their Cure.
