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

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

Pampered vanity is a better thing perhaps than starved pride.

I wish I were with some of the wild people that run in the woods, and know nothing about accomplishments!

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

Time never bears such moments on his wing as when he flies too swiftly to be marked.

If my heart were not light, I would die.
