Nature I Loved, And Next To Nature,

There Is A Vast Deal Of Vital Air In Loving Words.

As The Pearl Ripens In The Obscurity Of Its Shell, So Ripens In The Tomb All The Fame That Is Truly Precious.

The Assailant Is Often In The Right; That The Assailed Is Always.

The Only Effect Of Public Punishment Is To Show The Rabble How Bravely It Can Be Borne; And That Every One Who Hath Lost A Toe-nail Hath Suffered Worse.

A Man's Vanity Tells Him What Is Honor, A Man's Conscience What Is Justice.
