He who binds His soul to knowledge steals the key of heaven. - Nathaniel Parker Willis

The value of life deepens incalculably with the privileges of travel.

Let us weep in our darkness—but weep not for him!
Not for him—who, departing, leaves millions in tears!
Not for him—who has died full of honor and years!
Not for him—who ascended Fame’s ladder so high
From the round at the top he has stepp'd to the sky.

If there is any thing that keeps the mind
Open to angel visits, and repels
The ministry of ill—'tis human love.
