To struggle when hope is banished! To live when life's salt is gone! To dwell in a dream that's vanished! To endure, and go calmly on! The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fear subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from.

I believe this earth on which we stand is but the vestibule to glorious mansions through which a moving crowd forever press.

Me care for te laws when te laws care for me.

My day is closed! the gloom of night is come! a hopeless darkness settles over my fate.

A good man's prayers will from the deepest dungeon climb heaven's height, and bring a blessing down.

I have seen the day, when, if a man made himself ridiculous, the world would laugh at him. But now, everything that is mean, disgusting, and absurd, pleases them but so much the better!

The mind doth shape itself to its own wants, and can bear all things.
