I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.
There is no vulture like despair.
Melancholy, indeed, should be diverted by every means but drinking.
I want to be forgotten even by God.

He that despairs measures Providence by his own little contracted model and limits infinite power to finite apprehensions.
Considering the unforeseen events of this world we should be taught that no human condition should inspire men with absolutes despair.
It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.
Despair is like forward children, who, when you take away one of their playthings throw the rest into the fire for madness. It grows angry with itself, turns its own executioner, and revenges its misfortunes on its own head.
Despair is the offspring of gear, of laziness, and impatience; it argues a defect of spirit and resolution, and often of honesty too. I would not despair unless I saw my misfortune recorded in the book of fate, and signed and sealed by necessity.
Despair give courage to the weak. Resolved to die, he fears no more, but rushes on his foes, and deals his deaths around.
Beware of desperate steps. The darkest day, live till tomorrow, will have passed away.
He that despairs degrades the Deity, and seems to intimates that He is insufficient, or hot just to his word; in vain hath he read the Scriptures, the world, and man.
He who despairs wants love and faith, for faith, hope, and love are three torches which blend their light together, nor does the one shine without the other.
Despair gives the shocking ease to the mind that mortification gives to the body.
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
The fact that God has prohibited despair give misfortune the right to hope all things, and leaves hope free to dare all things.
Religion converts despair, which destroys, into resignation, which submits.
