Toil And Pleasure, In Their Natures Opposite,

The Troubles Which Have Come Upon Us Always Seem More Serious Than Those Which Are Only Threatening.

Greater Is Our Terror Of The Unknown.

Law Is A Thing Which Is Insensible, And Inexorable, More Beneficial And More Profitious To The Weak Than To The Strong; It Admits Of No Mitigation Nor Pardon, Once You Have Overstepped Its Limits.

Present Sufferings Seem Far Greater To Men Than Those They Merely Dread.

Nature Has Ordained That The Man Who Is Pleading His Own Cause Before A Large Audience, Will Be More Readily Listened To Than He Who Has No Object In View Other Than The Public Benefit.
