The Birth Of A Child Is The Imprisonment Of A Soul.

Better That We Should Err In Action Than Wholly Refuse To Perform. The Storm Is So Much Better Than The Calm, As It Declares The Presence Of A Living Principle. Stagnation Is Something Worse Than Death. It Is Corruption Also.

Stagnation Is Something Worse Than Death. It Is Corruption, Also.
