Amusement To An Observing Mind Is Study.

How Very Seldom Do You Encounter In The World A Man Of Great Abilities, Acquirements, Experience, Who Will Unmask His Mind, Unbutton His Brains, And Pour Forth In Careless And Picturesque Phrase All The Results Of His Studies And Observation; His Knowledge Of Men, Books, And Nature. On The Contrary, If A Man Has By Any Chance An Original Idea, He Hoards It As If It Were Old Gold; And Rather Avoids The Subject With Which He Is Most Conversant, From Fear That You May Appropriate His Best Thoughts.

Beauty Can Inspire Miracles.

Conservatism... Offers No Redress For The Present, And Makes No Preparation For The Future.

Where Knowledge Ends, Religion Begins.

We Are Taught Words, Not Ideas.
