If God had wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
Maybe the most any of us can expect of ourselves isn't perfection but progress.
Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.
So quick and so fiercely I barely had time to gasp before it was locked on me.
What more felicity can fall to creature, than to enjoy delight with liberty.
Better shun the bait, than struggle in the snare.
We cannot deny the facts of nature, but we should certainly try to improve on them.
