On You, My Lord, With Anxious Fear

Nothing Is More Amiable Than True Modesty, And Nothing More Contemptible Than The False. The One Guards Virtue, The Other Betrays It.

We Make Provisions For This Life As If It Were Never To Have An End, And For The Other Life As Though It Were Never To Have A Beginning.

Man Is The Merriest Species Of The Creation; All Above Or Below Him Are Serious.

Thus I Live In The World Rather As A Spectator Of Mankind Than As One Of The Species.

Eternity! Thou Pleasing Dreadful Thought! Through What Variety Of Untried Being, Through What New Scenes And Changes Must We Pass!
