Despair Snuffs The Sun From The Firmament.

Civilization Degrades The Many To Exalt The Few.

Fullness Is Always Quiet; Agitation Will Answer For Empty Vessels Only.

Yet The Deepest Truths Are Best Read Between The Lines, And, For The Most Part, Refuse To Be Written.

Sleep On Your Writing; Take A Walk Over It; Scrutinize It Of A Morning; Review It Of An Afternoon; Digest It After A Meal; Let It Sleep In Your Drawer A Twelvemonth; Never Venture A Whisper About It To Your Friend, If He Be An Author Especially.

Truth Is Inclusive Of All The Virtues, Is Older Than Sects And Schools, And, Like Charity, More Ancient Than Mankind.
