There Is No Fortune So Strong That

Certain Signs Precede Certain Events.

A Nation Can Survive Its Fools, And Even The Ambitious. But It Cannot Survive Treason From Within.

While The Sick Man Has Life, There Is Hope.

Let Us Not Listen To Those Who Think We Ought To Be Angry With Our Enemies, And Who Believe This To Be Great And Manly. Nothing Is So Praiseworthy, Nothing So Clearly Shows A Great And Noble Soul, As Clemency And Readiness To Forgive.

This Seems To Be Advanced As The Surest Basis For Our Belief In The Existence Of Gods, That There Is No Race So Uncivilized, No One In The World So Barbarous That His Mind Has No Inkling Of A Belief In Gods.
