|  Many are ambitious of saying grand things, that is, of being grandiloquent. | | Only when the voice of duty is silent, or when it has already spoken, may we allowably think of the consequences of a particular action. | | It is a proof of our natural bias to evil, that gain is slower and harder than loss in all things good; but in all things bad getting is quicker and easier than getting rid of. | | It is with flowers as with moral qualities; the bright are sometimes poisonous; but, I believe, never the sweet. | | Crimes sometimes shock us too much; vices almost always too little. |
