'Tis man's perdition to be safe, When for the truth he ought to die

In skating over thin ice our safety is our speed

No love can be bound by oath or covenant to secure it against a higher love

Blame is safer than praise

Of all the ways to lose a person, death is the kindest.

The finest and noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on which nothing is assumed.
