12 quotations
How wretched is the person who hangs on by the favors of the powerful.
Their sighing , canting , grace-proud faces, their three-mile prayers, and half-mile graces.
Dare to be honest and fear no labor.
The heart and benevolent and kind the most resembles God.
Suspense is worst than disappointment.
When chill November's surly blast make fields and forest bare.
Prudent, cautious self-control, is wisdom's root.
Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!
Let us do or die.
There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.
Suspicion is a heavy armor and with its weight it impedes more than it protects.
Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.
