But, when he is trimmed, smoothed, and varnished, according to the mode: when he is aweary of vice, and aweary of virtue, used up as to brimstone, and used up as to bliss; then, whether he take to the serving out of red tape, or to the kindling of red fire, he is the very Devil."

I think the best side of such people is almost hidden from us. What the poor are to the poor is little known, excepting to themselves and God."
Compassion

Grief
