Amusement To An Observing Mind Is Study.

I Pride Myself In Recognizing And Upholding Ability In Every Party And Wherever I Meet It.

It Was Not Reason That Besieged Troy; It Was Not Reason That Sent Forth The Saracen From The Desert To Conquer The World; That Inspired The Crusades; That Instituted The Monastic Orders; It Was Not Reason That Produced The Jesuits; Above All, It Was Not Reason That Created The French Revolution. Man Is Only Great When He Acts From The Passions; Never Irresistible But When He Appeals To The Imagination.

We Are Now In Want Of An Art To Teach How Books Are To Be Read Rather Than To Read Them. Such An Art Is Practicable.

Teach Us That Wealth Is Not Elegance, That Profusion Is Not Magnificence, That Splendor Is Not Beauty.

All Power Is A Trust, That We Are Accountable For Its Exercise.
