Time is given us that we may take care for eternity; and eternity will not be too long to regret the loss of our time if we have misspent it.
God, who is liberal in all his other gifts, shows us, by the wise economy of His providence, how circumspect we ought to be in the management of our time, for He never gives us two moments together.
A good historian is timeless; although he is a patriot, he will never flatter his country in any respect.
