At a certain season of our life we are accustomed to consider every spot as the possible site of a house.

Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them.

One may almost doubt if the wisest man has learned anything of absolute value by living.

If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.

I have not read far in the statutes of this Commonwealth. It is not profitable reading. They do not always say what is true; and they do not always mean what they say.

Enthusiasm is a supernatural serenity.

To speak or do anything that shall concern mankind, one must speak and act as if well, or from that grain of health which he has left.
