There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice. He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young. Great souls by instinct to each other turn, demand alliance, and in friendship burn. Eternity! thou pleasing, dreadful thought. Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health, and is as friendly to the mind as to the body. Better to die ten thousand deaths than wound my honor. Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a perpetual succession of miracles rising into view. A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes. Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object. Sweet are the slumbers of the virtuous man. |
