Heaven Grant Me That I May Thus

I Am More And More Convinced That Man Is A Dangerous Creature And That Power, Whether Vested In Many Or A Few, Is Ever Grasping, And Like The Grave, Cries, 'give, Give.'

Great Difficulties May Be Surmounted By Patience And Perseverance.

The Habits Of A Vigorous Mind Are Born In Contending With Difficulties.

Wisdom And Penetration Are The Fruit Of Experience, Not The Lessons Of Retirement And Leisure. Great Necessities Call Out Great Virtues.

No One Is Without Their Difficulties, Whether In High, Or Low Life, & Every Person Knows Best Where Their Own Shoe Pinches.
