Wisdom And Penetration Are The Fruit Of

These Are Times In Which A Genius Would Wish To Live. It Is Not In The Still Calm Of Life, Or The Repose Of A Pacific Station, That Great Characters Are Formed.

I Begin To Think, That A Calm Is Not Desirable In Any Situation In Life. Man Was Made For Action And For Bustle Too, I Believe.

I Hope Some Future Day Will Bring Me The Happiness Of Seeing My Family Again Collected Under Our Own Roof, Happy In Ourselves And Blessed In Each Other.

May Your Mind Be Thoroughly Impressed With The Absolute Necessity Of Universal Virtue And Goodness, As The Only Sure Road To Happiness, And May You Walk Therein With Undeviating Steps.

Deliver Me From Your Cold Phlegmatic Preachers, Politicians, Friends, Lovers And Husbands.
