We live on the leash of our senses. I believe that in our constant search for security we can never gain any peace of mind until we are secure in our own soul. If you don't want to use the army, I should like to borrow it for a while. Yours respectfully, Hope is a risk that must be run. We have inherited new difficulties because we have inherited more privileges. I might have been born in a hovel but I am determined to travel with the wind and the stars. Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound. A woman, the more careful she is about her face, is commonly the more careless about her house. Circumstances are the rulers of the weak; they are but the instruments of the wise. All this of Pot and Potter - Tell me then, Who is the Potter, pray, and who the Pot? I must be getting absent-minded. Whenever I complain that things aren't what they used to be, I always forget to include myself. It takes your enemy and your friend, working together to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you and the other to get the news to you. The powers that be are ordained of God. The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck. Truth, that fair goddess who comes always with healing in her wings. If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. The enslaver is enslaved, the hater, harmed. There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship. Where there is lasting love, there is a family. Adam was the only man who, when he said a good thing, knew that nobody had said it before him.
