The Inquiry Into The Proper Aims And

Absolutely Nothing Is So Important For A Nation's Culture As Its Language.

We Cannot Assume The Injustice Of Any Actions Which Only Create Offense, And Especially As Regards Religion And Morals. He Who Utters Or Does Anything To Wound The Conscience And Moral Sense Of Others, May Indeed Act Immorally; But, So Long As He Is Not Guilty Of Being Importunate, He Violates No Right.

It Is Resignation And Contentment That Are Best Calculated To Lead Us Safely Through Life. Whoever Has Not Sufficient Power To Endure Privations, And Even Suffering, Can Never Feel That He Is Armor Proof Against Painful Emotions,--nay, He Must Attribute To Himself, Or At Least To The Morbid Sensitiveness Of His Nature, Every Disagreeable Feeling He May Suffer.

However Benevolent May Be The Intentions Of Providence, They Do Not Always Advance The Happiness Of The Individual. Providence Has Always Higher Ends In View, And Works In A Pre-eminent Degree On The Inner Feelings And Disposition.

True Resignation, Which Always Brings With It The Confidence That Unchangeable Goodness Will Make Even The Disappointment Of Our Hopes, And The Contradictions Of Life, Conducive To Some Benefit, Casts A Grave But Tranquil Light Over The Prospect Of Even A Toilsome And Troubled Life.
