Shakspeare, in the compass of a line, has described a thoroughly charming girl:—
Pretty, and witty; wild, and yet, too, gentle.
The foundation of domestic happiness is confidence in the virtue of woman; the foundation of political happiness is reliance on the integrity of man; the foundation of all real happiness, temporal and spiritual, present and eternal, is faith in the mercy of God through Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
Buckingham’s Epitaph on Thomas Lord Fairfax:—
He might have been a King,
But that he understood
How much it is a meaner thing
To be unjustly great, than honorably good.
