Age is the most terrible misfortune that can happen to any man; other evils will mend, this is every day getting worse

No amount of misfortune will satisfy the man who is not satisfied with reading a hundred epigrams

In this Age, when it is said of a man, "He knows how to live," it may be implied he is not very honest

In every age and every man there is something to praise as well as to blame.

I really think it's sad in this day and age, knowing he knows the rules of swearing to serve and protect, to falsely accuse a black person of doing this.

Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.
