This Business of Living
If misfortunes have befallen you by your own misconduct, live, and be wiser for the future; if they have befallen you by the fault of others, live, you have nothing wherewith to reproach yourself.
JOHN HERRIES
An address to the public on the frequent and enormous crime of Suicide, January 2, 1774
As the dog runneth after him that flees, but flees him that standeth still; so misfortune pursueth those that flee from her, but flees those that face her.
