Time is the measure of business. To choose time is to save time. Truth arises more readily from error than from confusion. What is truth? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for an answer. The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears. God never wrought miracles to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his grieves to his friend, but he grieveth the less. Virtue is like a rich stone, - best plain set. Virtue is like precious odours,- most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed. What then remains but that we still should cry for being born, and, being born, to die? |
