***************
If the sun does not
rise tomorrow, tyranny
will still rule us all
***************
A propensity
to hope must be proportioned
with vivid sorrow
***************
Any man seasoned
with the imperfections of
reason is a knave
***************
The moral beauty
of Christians gives rise to the
worst of history
***************
The inclination
to perceive miracles is
the brain’s poverty
***************
Custom is the great
guide to avarice and the
blood-spill of labor
***************
Persons acquainted
with the evidence of pure
design see not truth
***************
The healing temper
of an oyster attests to
its divinity
***************
Real passion is
in all cases sufficient
to establish vice
