Boldness Is A Mask For Fear, However

Like Pilgrims To Th' Appointed Place We Tend; The World's An Inn, And Death The Journey's End.

The Thought Of Being Nothing After Death Is A Burden Insupportable To A Virtuous Man.

He Has Not Learned The First Lesson Of Life Who Does Not Every Day Surmount A Fear.

Great Souls Forgive Not Injuries Till Time Has Put Their Enemies Within Their Power, That They May Show Forgiveness Is Their Own.

For Those Whom God To Ruin Has Design'd, He Fits For Fate, And First Destroys Their Mind.
