The great happiness of life, I find, after all, to consist in the regular discharge of some mechanical duty.
Our safety is not in blindness, but in facing our dangers.
The lamp of genius burns quicker than the lamp of life.
Gray hairs are death's blossoms.
Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned.
Uncommon men require no common trust; give him but scope and he will set the bounds.
