When nations are to perish in their sins, 'tis in the Church the leprosy begins.

All truth is precious, if not all divine; and what dilates the powers must needs refine.

Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Good sense, good health, good conscience, and good fame,--all these belong to virtue, and all prove that virtue has a title to your love.

The Cross! There, and there only (though the deist rave, and the atheist, if Earth bears so base a slave); There and there only, is the power to save.

Then liberty, like day, Breaks on the soul, and by a flash from Heaven Fires all the faculties with glorious joy.

...So let us welcome peaceful evening in.
