The only way in which a man can do permanent good with the money which he must leave behind him is to trust something to the discretion of those who will follow him. Let him describe his wish and his design in so general a way, that, while it may be clearly understood, it shall not be confined within such straight lines, that it can incline neither to the right hand nor to the left. Circumstances do not move so; and if a man's will cannot be bent to accommodate it to them, it must be broken. |
