O peace! how many wars were waged in thy name.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

The lights and shades, whose well-accorded strife gives all the strength and color of our life.

Thou wert my guide, philosopher, and friend.

Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of sense, Lie in three words,-health, peace, and competence.

I never knew any man in my life who could not bear another's misfortunes perfectly like a Christian.
