It Is Not Doubt,is Certitude That Drives

What Is Genius?- To Aspire To A Lofty Aim And To Will The Means To That Aim.

All Idealists Imagine That The Causes They Serve Are Fundamentally Better Than Any Other Causes In The World, And They Refuse To Believe That If Their Cause Is To Flourish At All It Requires Precisely The Same Foul-smelling Manure That Is Necessary To All Other Human Undertakings.

Pity Aims Just As Little At The Pleasure Of Others As Malice At The Pain Of Others Per-se.

Do Not Paint A Picture Either Of God Or The Devil On Your Walls: This Will Ruin Both Your Walls And The Atmosphere.

Thus I Spoke, More And More Softly; For I Was Afraid Of My Own Thoughts And The Thoughts Behind My Thoughts.
