David Mallet quotes:
-
Affliction is the wholesome soil of virtue, where patience, honor, sweet humility, and calm fortitude, take root and strongly flourish.
-
The wailing owl Screams solitary to the mournful moon.
-
Uncertainty! fell demon of our fears! The human soul that can support despair, supports not thee.
-
The wailing owl screams solitary to the mournful moon.....
-
I courted fame but as a spur to brave and honest deeds; who despises fame will soon renounce the virtues that deserve it.
-
O grant me, Heaven, a middle state, Neither too humble nor too great; More than enough, for nature's ends, With something left to treat my friends.
-
True valor, on virtue founded strong, meets all events alike.
-
A sovereign's great example forms a people; the public breast is noble or vile as he inspires it.
-
What proves the hero truly great,Is never, never to despair.
