There is nothing wanting to make all rational and disinterested people in the world of one religion, but that they should talk together every day.

What Tully said of war may be applied to disputing: "It should be always so managed as to remember that the only true end of it is peace." But generally true disputants are like true sportsmen,--their whole delight is in the pursuit; and the disputant no more cares for the truth than the sportsman for the hare.

In death a hero, as in life a friend!

Fondly we think we honor merit then, when we but praise ourselves in other men.

Such as are still observing upon others are like those who are always abroad at other men's houses, reforming everything there while their own runs to ruin.

Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defence, and fills up all the mighty void of sense.

Absent or dead, still let a friend be dear.
