Flatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not charity for thy neighbor. – Francis Quarles

Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger. – Francis Quarles
Anger may repast with thee for an hour, but not repose for a night the continuance of anger is hatred, the continuance of hatred turns malice. – Francis Quarles
Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner. – James Fenimore Cooper
