Though Old The Thought And Oft Exprest,

Praise Follows Truth Afar Off, And Only Overtakes Her At The Grave; Plausibility Clings To Her Skirts And Holds Her Back Till Then

Compromise Makes A Good Umbrella, But A Poor Roof.

Talent Is That Which Is In A Man's Power; Genius Is That In Whose Power A Man Is.

They Have Rights Who Dare Maintain Them.

A Friendship Counting Nearly Forty Years Is The Finest Kind Of Shade-tree I Know.
