O affliction! ye are the guides that show us the way through the great airy space where our loved ones walked; and, as hounds easily follow the scent before the dew be risen, so God teaches us, while yet our sorrow is wet, to follow on and find our dear ones in heaven.

The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.

It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade.
