When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone.
Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!
He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury; that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet.
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
As long as the Fates permit, live cheerfully.
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
