A Life Of Action And Danger Moderates

Fame Is The Inheritance Not Of The Dead, But Of The Living. It Is We Who Look Back With Lofty Pride To The Great Names Of Antiquity.

Prosperity Is A Great Teacher; Adversity A Greater.

Our Energy Is In Proportion To The Resistance It Meets.

The Perfect Joys Of Heaven Do Not Satisfy The Cravings Of Nature.

We Do Not Die Wholly At Our Deaths: We Have Mouldered Away Gradually Long Before. Faculty After Faculty, Interest After Interest, Attachment After Attachment Disappear: We Are Torn From Ourselves While Living.
