Description |
'Wee look upon Calamity approaching with magnifying glasses and our eyes are so bemused, that like some people in the dark, Wee are frightened with bugbears and vain apparitions which are not really nor possibly will ever be, thus the fear of Warre is often worse than the Warre itself..."
Its mad folly to repine at providence and not to submit our Wills to his will who guyds the World, submitt wee must and what Wee must do, nill Wee will Wee. Its best to do it pleasantly ... I recommend to you not to look back upon what is past, or cannot be helped but look before you, and see what is incumbent for you to do ... When a man does his duety and when he cannot accuse himself of neglect, inadvertence, precipitancy or the like remedable defect in himself, he will have comfort, let things go as they will', (3 July). |
