Resolve To Make At Least One Person

No Furniture Is So Charming As Books.

A Great Deal Of Talent Is Lost To The World For The Want Of A Little Courage. Every Day Sends To Their Graves A Number Of Obscure Men Who Have Only Remained Obscure Because Their Timidity Has Prevented Them From Making A First Effort; And Who, If They Could Only Have Been Induced To Begin, Would In All Probability Have Gone Great Lengths In The Career Of Fame.

Marriage Resembles A Pair Of Shears, So Joined That They Cannot Be Separated; Often Moving In Opposite Directions, Yet Always Punishing Anyone Who Comes Between Them.

Let The Dean And Canons Lay Their Heads Together And The Thing Will Be Done.

Avoid Shame, But Do Not Seek Glory; Nothing So Expensive As Glory.
