“...The friends we have lost do not repose under the ground...they are buried deep in our hearts. It has been thus ordained that they may always accompany us...”

“God may seem sometimes to forget for a while, whilst his justice reposes, but there always comes a moment when he remembers.”

“the greater number of a man's errors come before him disguised under the specious form of necessity; then, after error has been committed in a moment of excitement, of delirium, or of fear, we see that we might have avoided and escaped it.”

“...remember that what has once been done may be done again.”
