We would pray for more than understanding.

Fanatic named, and fool, yet well content

shawn — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 02:59:43 +0000

Avoid late and unseasonable Studies

shawn — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 17:04:40 +0000

How Cheap Is Genuine Happiness

shawn — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 02:28:08 +0000

How cheap Is genuine happiness, and yet how dearly Do we all pay for its base counterfeit!

True Happiness is of a Retired Nature

shawn — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 04:23:34 +0000

The true happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one’s self; and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions; it loves shade and solitude, and naturally haunts groves and fountains, fields and medows; […]
