If You Would Persuade, You Must Appeal

Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God.

Since Thou Are Not Sure Of A Minute, Throw Not Away An Hour.

To Be Humble To Superiors Is A Duty, To Equals Courtesy, To Inferiors Nobleness.

I Wish It Were Possible, From This Instance, To Invent A Method Of Embalming Drowned Persons In Such A Manner That They May Be Recalled To Life At Any Period, However Distant; For Having A Very Ardent Desire To See And Observe The State Of America A Hundred Years Hence, I Should Prefer To Any Ordinary Death The Being Immersed In A Cask Of Madeira Wine With A Few Friends Till That Time, To Be Then Recalled To Life By The Solar Warmth Of My Dear Country!

Let Me Resolve To Be Virtuous, That I May Be Happy, That I May Please Him, Who Is Delighted To See Me Happy. Amen.
