Men's actions to futurity appear but as the events to which they are conjoined do give them consequence.

I can bear scorpion's stings, tread fields of fire, in frozen gulfs of cold eternal lie, be tossed aloft through tracts of endless void, but cannot live in shame.

Men's actions to futurity appear but as the events to which they are conjoined do give them consequence.

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

It ever is the marked propensity of restless and aspiring minds to look into the stretch of dark futurity.

A willing heart adds feather to the heel.

Pampered vanity is a better thing perhaps than starved pride.
