My Speech Is Too Fast; My Oration

Neither Britain, A Land Fertile In Tyrants, Nor The People Of Ireland, Knew Moses And The Prophets.

Catch, Then, O Catch The Transient Hour; Improve Each Moment As It Flies!

Being Over Seventy Is Like Being Engaged In A War. All Our Friends Are Going Or Gone And We Survive Amongst The Dead And The Dying As On A Battlefield.

Nothing Gives Us A Greater Idea Of Our Soul, Than That God Has Given Us, At The Moment Of Our Birth, An Angel To Take Care Of It.

An Ethic Is Not An Ethic, And A Value Not A Value Without Somesacrifice For It. Something Given Up, Something Not Gained.
