We term sleep a death by which we may be literally said to die daily; in fine, so like death, I dare not trust it without my prayers. If anyone has conducted a Beethoven performance, and then doesn't have to go to an osteopath, then there's something wrong. Be charitable before wealth makes you covetous. All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God. A man may be in as just possession of truth as of a city, and yet be forced to surrender. Where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valor to dare to live. Think it more satisfactory to live richly than die rich. |
