He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations.

Whatever we owe, it is our part to find where to pay it, and to do it without asking, too; for whether the creditor be good or bad, the debt is still the same.
[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember …] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.
