A Wise Traveler Never Despises His Own

If Goodness Were Only A Theory, It Were A Pity It Should Be Lost To The World. There Are A Number Of Things, The Idea Of Which Is A Clear Gain To The Mind. Let People, For Instance, Rail At Friendship, Genius, Freedom, As Long As They Will -the Very Names Of These Despised Qualities Are Better Than Anything Else That Could Be Substituted For Them, And Embalm Even The Most Envenomed Satire Against Them.

Rules And Models Destroy Genius And Art.

We Are Thankful For Good-will Rather Than For Services, For The Motive Than The Quantum Of Favor Received.
