Though A Man Cannot Abstain From Being

Wit Is The Fetching Of Congruity Out Of Incongruity.

Mere Bashfulness Without Merit Is Awkwardness.

He Only Is A Great Man Who Can Neglect The Applause Of The Multitude And Enjoy Himself Independent Of Its Favor.

To Look Upon The Soul As Going On From Strength To Strength, To Consider That She Is To Shine Forever With New Accessions Of Glory, And Brighten To All Eternity; That She Will Be Still Adding Virtue To Virtue, And Knowledge To Knowledge,--carries In It Something Wonderfully Agreeable To That Ambition Which Is Natural To The Mind Of Man.

Certain Is It That There Is No Kind Of Affection So Purely Angelic As Of A Father To A Daughter.
