“The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise.”
“The flowers of life are but visionary. How many pass away and leave no trace behind! How few yield any fruit,--and the fruit itself, how rarely does it ripen!

“Every man has his fault, and honesty is his.”
“I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it.”
