Life And Hope Must Cease Together.

I See That A Man Cannot Give Himself Up To Drinking Without Being Miserable One Half His Days And Mad The Other.

I’ll Promise To Think Twice Before I Take Any Important Step You Seriously Disapprove Of.

Chess-players Are So Unsociable, They Are No Company For Any But Themselves.

You Cannot Expect Stone To Be As Pliable As Clay.

I Still Preserve Those Relics Of Past Sufferings And Experience, Like Pillars Of Witness Set Up In Travelling Through The Valve Of Life, To Mark Particular Occurrences. The Footsteps Are Obliterated Now; The Face Of The Country May Be Changed; But The Pillar Is Still There, To Remind Me How All Things Were When It Was Reared.
