Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
From William Cowper
No one was ever scolded out of their sins.
No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach.
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.
The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change, And pleased with novelty, might be indulged.
Thus happiness depends, as nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose.
