What A Man Wishes, He Will Believe.

We Believe Whatever We Want To Believe.

Clouds Cannot Cover Secret Places, Nor Denials Conceal Truth.

It Is Not Possible To Found A Lasting Power Upon Injustice, Perjury, And Treachery. These May, Perhaps, Succeed For Once, And Borrow For Awhile, From Hope, A Gay And Flourishing Appearance. But Time Betrays Their Weakness, And They Fall Into Ruin Of Themselves. For, As In Structures Of Every Kind, The Lower Parts Should Have The Greatest Firmness--so The Grounds And Principles Of Actions Should Be Just And True.

Good Fortune Is The Greatest Of Blessings, But Good Counsel Comes Next, And The Lack Of It Destroys The Other Also.

A Man Is His Own Easiest Dupe, For What He Wishes To Be True He Generally Believes To Be True.
