Memory is the cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and the council chamber of thought.

Troubles are usually the brooms and shovels that smooth the road to a good man's fortune; and many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.
