Hold Fast, Therefore, O Circular Philosopher, To

Who Loves A Garden, Still His Eden Keeps, Perennial Pleasures Plants, And Wholesome Harvests Reaps.

Our Friends Interpret The World And Ourselves To Us, If We Take Them Tenderly And Truly.

That Is A Good Book Which Is Opened With Expectation, And Closed With Delight And Profit.

Many Are Those Who Can Argue; Few Are Those Who Can Converse

Nor Do We Accept, As Genuine The Person Not Characterized By This Blushing Bashfulness, This Youthfulness Of Heart, This Sensibility To The Sentiment Of Suavity And Self-respect. Modesty Is Bred Of Self-reverence. Fine Manners Are The Mantle Of Fair Minds. None Are Truly Great Without This Ornament.
