We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.
It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
To keep oneself safe does not mean to bury oneself.
Courage leads starward, fear toward death.
Add each day something to fortify you against poverty and death.
When in fear, it is safest to force the attack.
