A Mother Is The Best Friend God

It Is Difficult To Say Which Is The Greatest Evil--to Have Too Violent Passions, Or To Be Wholly Devoid Of Them. Controlled With Firmness, Guided By Discretion, And Hallowed By The Imagination, The Passions Are The Vivifiers And Quickeners Of Our Being. Without Passion There Can Be No Energy Of Character. Indeed, The Passions Are Like Fire, Useful In A Thousand Ways, And Dangerous Only In One--through Their Excess.

If One Is Not Virtuous He Becomes Vicious.

Partial Culture Runs To The Ornate, Extreme Culture To Simplicity.

Dishonest People Conceal Their Faults From Themselves As Well As Others, Honest People Know And Confess Them.

Even When We Fancy We Have Grown Wiser, It Is Only, It May Be, That New Prejudices Have Displaced Old Ones.
