He That Best Understands The World, Least

What Vast Additions To The Conveniences And Comforts Of Living Might Mankind Have Acquired, If The Money Spent In Wars Had Been Employed In Works Of Public Utility; What An Extension Of Agriculture Even To The Tops Of Our Mountains; What Rivers Rendered Navigable, Or Joined By Canals; What Bridges, Aqueducts, New Roads, And Other Public Works, Edifices, And Improvements Might Not Have Been Obtained By Spending Those Millions In Doing Good, Which In The Last War Have Been Spent In Doing Mischief.

By My Rambling Digressions I Perceive Myself To Be Growing Old.

Blessed Is He That Expects Nothing, For He Shall Never Be Disappointed. Expect Nothing - Get Nothing! But Expect Something - Get Something!!

Increase In Me That Wisdom Which Discovers My Truest Interest, Strengthen My Resolution To Perform That Which Wisdom Dictates.

We Are Not So Sensible Of The Greatest Health As Of The Least Sickness.
