What Is Meat For One Is Not

These Are Times In Which A Genius Would Wish To Live. It Is Not In The Still Calm Of Life, Or The Repose Of A Pacific Station, That Great Characters Are Formed.

We Have Too Many High-sounding Words, And Too Few Actions That Correspond With Them.

Arbitrary Power Is Like Most Other Things Which Are Very Hard, Very Liable To Be Broken.

What Is Meat For One Is Not For Another--no Accounting For Fancy.

Heaven Grant Me That I May Thus Rejoice In My Children, Thus See Them Ornaments To Their Country, And Blessings To Their Parents.
