"Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence. "

"Men are only clever at shifting blame from their own shoulders to those of others. "

"Men are slower to recognize blessings than misfortunes. "

"The populace is like the sea motionless in itself, but stirred by every wind, even the lightest breeze. "

"There is always more spirit in attack than in defence. "

"We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them. "
