By Nature We Have No Defect That

When You Take A Man As He Is, You Make Him Worse. When You Take A Man As He Can Be, You Make Him Better.

Whatever You Can Do Or Dream, Begin It.

Man Believes Himself Always Greater Than He Is, And Is Esteemed Less Than He Is Worth.

Few Rash Of Any Modern Nation Have A Proper Sense Of An Aesthetical Whole; They Praise And Blame By Parts; They Are Charmed By Passages. And Who Has Greater Reason To Rejoice In This Than Actors, Since The Stage Is Ever But A Patched And Piecemeal Matter?

Like The Star That Shines Afar, Without Haste And Without Rest, Let Each One Wheel With Steady Sway Round The Task That Rules The Day, And Do Their Best.
