Forethought Spares Afterthought.

There Is Much Said About The Wickedness Of Doing Evil That Good May Come. Alas! There Is Such A Thing As Doing Good That Evil May Come.

... If Fiction Does Not Show Us A Better Life Than Reality, What Is The Good Of It?

That Is The Great Mistake About The Affections. It Is Not The Rise And Fall Of Empires, The Birth And Death Of Kings, Or The Marching Of Armies That Move Them Most. When They Answer From Their Depths, It Is To The Domestic Joys And Tragedies Of Life.

... Trouble Of All Kinds Is Voluble, And Has Plenty Of Words, But Happiness Was Never Written Down.

It Is Only In Sorrow Bad Weather Masters Us; In Joy We Face The Storm And Defy It.
