Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself; for every guilty person is his own hangman.

Leisure without study is death, and the grave of a living man.

What were once vices are the fashion of the day.

Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.

Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.

Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.

That grief is light which can take counsel.
