Half-uttered praise is to the curious mind, as to the eye half-veiled beauty is, more precious than the whole.

The plainest case in many words entangling.

A woman is seldom roused to great and courageous exertion but when something most dear to her is in immediate danger.

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

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.
