~Honor.~--Keep unscathed the good name, keep out of peril the honor,
without which even your battered old soldier, who is hobbling into his
grave on half pay and a wooden leg, would not change with
Achilles.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
~Hope.~--Hope warps judgment in council, but quickens energy in
action.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
"I have a fine lot of hopes here in my basket," remarked the New Year;
"they are a sweet-smelling flower--a species of roses."--_Hawthorne._
Hope is the most beneficial of all the affections, and doth much to the
prolongation of life, if it be not too often frustrated; but
entertaineth the fancy with an expectation of good.--_Bacon._
