Grief is not in the nature of things, but in opinion.
The higher our position the more modestly we should behave.
What is permissible is not always honorable.
We all are imbued with the love of praise.
Our thoughts are free.
If we are forced, at every hour, to watch or listen to horrible events, this constant stream of ghastly impressions will deprive even the most delicate among us of all respect for humanity.
