The pleasure of life is according to the man who lives it, and not according to the work or the place

Go where he will, the wise man is at home.

We are always getting ready to live, but never living

To live without duties is obscene.

If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, tho' he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.
