A stern discipline pervades all nature, which is a little cruel that it may be very kind.
It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.
Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas, ease after war, death after life does greatly please.
What more felicity can fall to creature, than to enjoy delight with liberty.
