It is we that have despised life and beauty and God; it is we that make graven images, and worship the fire till we cannot see the sun, who pray daily for peace, and cast the jewel in the mire when it is put in our foolish hands.

Poor Maria! she would not permit me alone to suffer the deprivations of a prison; she too would seclude herself from the world.

The Envy which prevails in the lower Orders of France against the higher Classes, is not a French, but a purely democratic Sentiment. For what Reason the most distinguished Men in America frequently seclude themselves from public affairs.
That indisposition should seclude, I trust for but a short time, your highness from their councils, in which you hold so potential a voice, I must lament with all Christendom; but, as a soldier, I must obey those on whom the lawful right of command devolves, or set but an evil example in the Christian camp."
