The Elephant Is Never Won By Anger;

All Authors To Their Own Defects Are Blind.

From Plots And Treasons Heaven Preserve My Years, But Save Me Most From My Petitioners. Unsatiate As The Barren Womb Or Grave; God Cannot Grant So Much As They Can Crave.

Humility And Resignation Are Our Prime Virtues.

Happy The Man, And Happy He Alone, He Who Can Call Today His Own; He Who, Secure Within, Can Say, Tomorrow Do Thy Worst, For I Have Lived Today.

Revealed Religion First Informed Thy Sight, And Reason Saw Not Till Faith Sprung To Light.
