Pride Is Seldom Delicate; It Will Please

We Love To Expect, And When Expectation Is Either Disappointed Or Gratified, We Want To Be Again Expecting.

To Fix The Thoughts By Writing, And Subject Them To Frequent Examinations And Reviews, Is The Best Method Of Enabling The Mind To Detect Its Own Sophisms, And Keep It On Guard Against The Fallacies Which It Practices On Others

Pour Forth Thy Fervors For A Healthful Mind, Obedient Passions, And A Will Resigned

No Place Affords A More Striking Conviction Of The Vanity Of Human Hopes Than A Public Library.

Condemned To Hope's Delusive Mine, As On We Toil From Day To Day, By Sudden Blasts Or Slow Decline Our Social Comforts Drop Away.
