Pain Is Short, And Joy Is Eternal.

Futurity Is Impregnable To Mortal Ken: No Prayer Pierces Through Heaven's Adamantine Walls. Whether The Birds Fly Right Or Left, Whatever Be The Aspect Of The Stars, The Book Of Nature Is A Maze, Dreams Are A Lie, And Every Sign A Falsehood.

The Greater Part Of Humanity Is Too Much Harassed And Fatigued By The Struggle With Want, To Rally Itself For A New And Sterner Struggle With Error.

I Am Better Than My Reputation

Worthless Is The Nation That Does Not Gladly Stake Its All On Its Honor.

Weep, For The Light Is Dead.
