The Tomb Is The Pedestal Of Greatness.

Wisdom Consisteth Not In Knowing Many Things, Nor Even In Knowing Them Thoroughly; But In Choosing And In Following What Conduces The Most Certainly To Our Lasting Happiness And True Glory.

Be Assured That, Although Men Of Eminent Genius Have Been Guilty Of All Other Vices, None Worthy Of More Than A Secondary Name Has Ever Been A Gamester. Either An Excess Of Avarice Or A Deficiency Of What, In Physics, Is Called Excitability, Is The Cause Of It; Neither Of Which Can Exist In The Same Bosom With Genius, With Patriotism, Or With Virtue.

Ridicule Has Followed The Vestiges Of Truth, But Never Usurped Her Place.

Despotism Sits Nowhere So Secure As Under The Effigy And Ensigns Of Freedom.

The Present, Like A Note In Music, Is Nothing But As It Appertains To What Is Past And What Is To Come.
