Doubt wisely; in strange way To stand inquiring right, is not to stray; To sleep, or run wrong, is.

Oh do not die, for I shall hate All women so, when thou art gone.

The Psalms foretell what I, what any shall do and suffer and say.

We study health, and we deliberate upon our meats and drink and air and exercises, and we hew and we polish every stone that goes to that building; and so our health is a long and regular work. But in a minute a cannon batters all, overthrows all, demolishes all; a sickness unprevented for all our diligence, unsuspected for all our curiosity, nay, undeserved, if we consider only disorder, summons us, seizes us, possesses us, destroys us in an instant.

He must pull out his own eyes, and see no creature, before he can say, he sees no God; He must be no man, and quench his reasonable soul, before he can say to himself, there is no God.

Friends are ourselves.
