--DR. JOHNSON.
Even in social life, it is persistency which attracts confidence, more
than talents and accomplishments.--WHIPPLE.
A falling drop at last will carve a stone.--LUCRETIUS.
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt;
Nothing so hard but search will find it out.

Press on! a better fate awaits thee.--VICTOR HUGO.
PHILOSOPHY.--True philosophy is that which renders us to ourselves,
and all others who surround us, better, and at the same time more
content, more patient, more calm and more ready for all decent and
pure enjoyment.--LAVATER.
Philosophy abounds more than philosophers, and learning more than
learned men.--W.B. CLULOW.
The road to true philosophy is precisely the same with that which
leads to true religion; and from both the one and the other, unless we
would enter in as little children, we must expect to be totally
excluded.--BACON.
Philosophy is the art and law of life, and it teaches us what to do in
all cases, and, like good marksmen, to hit the white at any distance.
--SENECA.
A little philosophy inclineth men's minds to atheism; but depth in
philosophy bringeth men's minds to religion.--BACON.
Whence? whither? why? how?--these questions cover all philosophy.
