What A Sublime Doctrine It Is, That

Innocent Amusements Are Such As Excite Moderately, And Such As Produce A Cheerful Frame Of Mind, Not Boisterous Mirth; Such As Refresh, Instead Of Exhausting, The System; Such As Recur Frequently, Rather Than Continue Long; Such As Send Us Back To Our Daily Duties Invigorated In Body And Spirit; Such As We Can Partake Of In The Presence And Society Of Respectable Friends; Such As Consist With And Are Favorable To A Grateful Piety; Such As Are Chastened By Self-respect, And Are Accompanied With The Consciousness That Life Has A Higher End Than To Be Amused.

My Highway Is Unfeatured Air, My Consorts Are The Sleepless Stars, And Men My Giant Arms Upbear My Arms Unstained And Free From Scars.

The Great Hope Of Society Is In Individual Character

No Punishment Is So Terrible As Prosperous Guilt.

Every Human Being Has A Work To Carry On Within, Duties To Perform Abroad, Influence To Exert, Which Are Peculiarly His, And Which No Conscience But His Own Can Teach.
