I never saw any good that came of telling truth.
That gloomy outside, like a rusty chest, contains the shoring treasure of a soul resolved and brave.
If passion rules, how weak does reason prove!
So over violent, or over civil that every man with him was God or Devil.
Reason saw not, till Faith sprung the Light.
The elephant is never won by anger; nor must that man who would reclaim a lion take him by the teeth.
