Quotes
- “The fears of one class of men are not the measure of the rights of another.”
- “Avarice is the vice of declining years.”
- “Institutions may crumble and governments fall, but it is only that they may renew a better youth, and mount upwards like the eagle.”
- “Ennui is the desire of activity without the fit means of gratifying the desire.”
- “Truth is not exciting enough to those who depend on the characters and lives of their neighbors for all their amusement; and if a story is told of more than common interest, ennui is sure to have its joy in adding embellishments. If hours did not hang heavy, what would become of scandal?”
- “By common consent grey hairs are a crown of glory; the only object of respect that can never excite envy.”
