brings us new pleasures exposes us to new pains.--_Bulwer-Lytton._ ~Pardon.~--Pardon is the virtue of victory.--_Mazzini._ The heart has always the pardoning power.--_Madame Swetchine._ The offender never pardons.--_George Herbert._ Love is on the verge of hate each time it stoops for pardon.--_Bulwer-Lytton._ These evils I deserve, yet despair not of his final pardon whose ear is ever open, and his eye gracious to readmit the supplicant.--_Milton._ Having mourned your sin, for outward Eden lost, find paradise within.--_Dryden._ ~Parent.~--The sacred books of the ancient Persians say: If you would be holy instruct your children, because all the good acts they perform will be imputed to you.--_Montesquieu._ ~Partiality.~--Partiality in a parent is commonly unlucky; for fondlings are in danger to be made fools, and the children that are least cockered make the best and wisest men.--_L'Estrange._ As there is a partiality to opinions, which is apt to mislead the understanding, so there is also a partiality to studies, which is prejudicial to knowledge.--_Locke._ Partiality is properly the understanding's judging according to the inclination of the will and affections, and not according to the exact truth of things, or the merits of the cause.--_South._ ~Parting.~--In every parting there is an image of death.--_George Eliot._ ~Party.~--He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party-man.--_Lavater._ He that aspires to be the head of a party will find it more difficult to please his friends than to perplex his foes.--_Colton._ ~Passions.~--Passions makes us feel but never see clearly.--_Montesquieu._ Passions are likened best to floods and streams: the shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.--_Sir Walter Raleigh._ The passions are the voice of the body.--_Rousseau._ The advice given by a great moralist to his friend was, that he should compose his passions; and let that be the work of reason which would certainly be the work of time.--_Addison._ A vigorous mind is as necessarily accompanied with violent passions as a great fire with great heat.--_Burke._ There are moments when our passions speak and decide for us, and we seem to stand by and wonder.
