As To Our Friend , I Pray

A Good Historian Is Timeless; Although He Is A Patriot, He Will Never Flatter His Country In Any Respect.

It Is This Unquiet Self-love That Renders Us So Sensitive. The Sick Man, Who Sleeps Ill, Thinks The Night Long. We Exaggerate, From Cowardice, All The Evils Which We Encounter; They Are Great, But Our Sensibility Increases Them. The True Way To Bear Them Is To Yield Ourselves Up With Confidence To God.

It Is Often Our Own Imperfection Which Makes Us Reprove The Imperfection Of Others; A Sharp-sighted Self-love Of Others

Should We Feel At Times Disheartened And Discouraged, A Simple Movement Of Heart Toward God Will Renew Our Powers. Whatever He May Demand Of Us, He Will Give Us At The Moment The Strength And Courage That We Need.

All Wars Are Civil Ones; For It Is Still Man Spilling His Own Blood, Tearing Out His Own Bowels.
