There Is But A Very Minute Portion

Let Us Aspire Towards This Living Confidence, That It Is The Will Of God To Unfold And Exalt Without End The Spirit That Entrusts Itself To Him In Well-doing As To A Faithful Creator.

We Smile At The Ignorance Of The Savage Who Cuts Down The Tree In Order To Reach Its Fruit; But The Same Blunder Is Made By Every Person Who Is Over Eager And Impatient In The Pursuit Of Pleasure.

Precept Is Instruction Written In The Sand; The Tide Flows Over It And The Record Is Gone; Example Is Graven On The Rock, And The Lesson Is Not Soon Lost.

The Hills Are Reared, The Seas Are Scooped In Vain If Learning's Altar Vanish From The Plain.

The Spirit Of Liberty Is Not Merely, As Multitudes Imagine, A Jealousy Of Our Own Particular Rights, But A Respect For The Rights Of Others, And An Unwillingness That Any Man, Whether High Or Low, Should Be Wronged And Trampled Under Foot.
