Aaron Hill

Aaron Hill
There is no merit where there is no trial and till experience stamps the mark of strength, cowards may pass for heroes, and faith for falsehood.
Aaron Hill
Let shining Charity adorn your zeal, The noblest impulse generous minds can feel.
Aaron Hill
Joys, which we do not know, we do not wish.
Aaron Hill
Oh, treacherous night thou lendest thy ready veil to every treason, and teeming mischief's beneath thy shade.
