We Ought Never To Sport With Pain

The Great Standard Of Literature As To Purity And Exactness Of Style Is The Bible.

Taste Consists In The Power Of Judging; Genius In The Power Of Executing.

What Ever Purifies The Heart Also Fortifies It.

Human Ability Is An Unequal Match For The Violent And Unforeseen Vicissitudes Of The World.

Compassion Is An Emotion Of Which We Ought Never To Be Ashamed. Graceful, Particularly In Youth, Is The Tear Of Sympathy, And The Heart That Melts At The Tale Of Woe. We Should Not Permit Ease And Indulgence To Contract Our Affections, And Wrap Us Up In A Selfish Enjoyment; But We Should Accustom Ourselves To Think Of The Distresses Of Human, Life, Of The Solitary Cottage; The Dying Parent, And The Weeping Orphan. Nor Ought We Ever To Sport With Pain And Distress In Any Of Our Amusements, Or Treat Even The Meanest Insect With Wanton Cruelty.
