“A good historian is timeless; although he is a patriot, he will never flatter hi…” — Francois Fenelon

If we were faultless we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate.

Had we not faults of our own, we should take less pleasure in complaining of others.

All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures more in fruition than in expectation.

Little opportunities should be improved.
