"I have seen with pain that you represent everything to yourself on the black side.

I beg you, in the name of God, my dearest Brother, don't take things up in their blackest and worst shape:--it is this that throws your mind into such an indecision, which is so lamentable.

I conjure you, take a fixed resolution; better a bad than none at all....

What is possible to man, I will do; neither care nor consideration nor effort shall be spared, to secure the result of my plans.
