Quote

Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another

Some virtues are only seen in affliction and others only in prosperity

Words, when well chosen, have so great a force in them that a description often gives us more lively ideas than the sight of things themselves

The utmost extent of man's knowledge, is to know that he knows nothing

Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us; footprints on the sands of time.

The truest end of life, is to know the life that never ends
