A rude nature is worse than a brute nature by so much more as man is better than a beast: and those that are of civil natures and genteel dispositions are as much nearer to celestial creatures as those that are rude and cruel are to devils.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
I'm more than open to hope, but I think men and women have a difficult time dealing with each other and often take the low road.
