Every Human Being Is Intended To Have

Did Any Man At His Death Ever Regret His Conflicts With Himself, His Victories Over Appetite, His Scorn Of Impure Pleasure, Or His Sufferings For Righteousness' Sake?

It Is Chiefly Through Books That We Enjoy Intercourse With The Superior Minds, And These Invaluable Means Of Communication Are In Reach Of All. In The Best Books, Great Men Talk To Us, Give Us Their Most Precious Thoughts, And Pour Their Souls Into Ours. God Be Thanked For Books. They Are The Voices Of The Distant And The Dead, And Make Us Heirs Of The Spiritual Life Of Past Ages. Books Are True Levellers. They Give To All, Who Faithfully Use Them, The Society, The Spiritual Presence Of The Best And Greatest Of Our Race.

God Is Another Name For Human Intelligence Raised Above All Error And Imperfection, And Extended To All Possible Truth.

Our Affections Are Our Life. We Live By Them; They Supply Our Warmth.

Natural Amiableness Is Too Often Seen In Company With Sloth, With Uselessness, With The Vanity Of Fashionable Life.
