*Valedictory
eloquence is rare, and death-bed sayings have not often hit the mark of the
occasion
*We are not
damned for doing wrong, but for not doing right
*we are
criminal lunatics and should place our persons in restraint.
*a mortified
appetite is never a wise companion
*a great
deal of cheerfulness will be required in judging life, and a great deal of
humility in judging others
*the task
before us, which is to co-endure with our existence, is rather one of
microscopic fineness, and the heroism required is that of patience.
*A man
dissatisfied with his endeavours is a man tempted to sadness.
*the kingdom
of heaven is of the childlike, of those who are easy to please, who love and
who give pleasure
*Gentleness
and cheerfulness, these come before all morality; they are the perfect duties
*One person
I have to make good: myself
nuestra felicidad no está en nuestras propias manos
*we may have
nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful.
*Revenge,
says Bacon, is a kind of wild justice
*Here lies
one who meant well, tried a little, failed much
Guillermo
Compte Cathcart
