"Malice can always find a mark to shoot at, and a pretence to fire." — Charles Simmons

Much of the wisdom of one age, is the folly of the next.

It is a great evil, as well as a misfortune, to be unable to utter a prompt and decided 'no'.

The smallest number, with God and truth on their side, are weightier than thousands.

Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence, and usefulness; a little attention and energy will form the habit, so as to make it easy and delightful.
