Though Silence Is Not Necessarily An Admission,

Nothing Is More Praiseworthy, Nothing More Suited To A Great And Illustrious Man Than Placability And A Merciful Disposition.

What Times! What Manners!

Let Us Assume That Entertainment Is The Sole End Of Reading; Even So I Think You Would Hold That No Mental Employment Is So Broadening To The Sympathies Or So Enlightening To The Understanding. Other Pursuits Belong Not To All Times, All Ages, All Conditions; But This Gives Stimulus To Our Youth And Diversion To Our Old Age; This Adds A Charm To Success, And Offers A Haven Of Consolation To Failure. Through The Night-watches, On All Our Journeyings, And In Our Hours Of Ease, It Is Our Unfailing Companion.

The Spirit Is The True Self. The Spirit, The Will To Win, And The Will To Excel Are The Things That Endure.

If We Lose Affection And Kindliness From Our Life: We Lose All That Gives It Charm.
