Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.

In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.

Let us see what love can do.

Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

Where charity keeps pace with gain, industry is blessed.

It is certain that the most natural and human government is that of consent, for that binds freely, ... when men hold their liberty by true obedience to rules of their own making.

Death then, being the way and condition of life, we cannot love to live if we cannot bear to die.
