A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty Is worth a whole eternity in bondage

Eternity! thou pleasing dreadful thought! Through what variety of untried being, Through what new scenes and changes must we pass!

A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.

A cloudy day, or a little sunshine, have as great an influence on many constitutions as the most real blessings or misfortunes

Every situation, every moment -- is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity.

The Mind that lies fallow but a single Day, sprouts up in Follies that are only to be killed by a constant and assiduous Culture.
