A willing mind makes a hard journey easy.
Cheerful looks make every dish a feast, and it is that which crowns a welcome.
Black detraction will find faults where they are not.
He that doth public good for multitudes, finds few are truly grateful
Petitions, not sweetened with gold, are but unsavory and oft refused; or, if received, are pocketed, not read.
To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.
