Society Never Made The Preposterous Demand That

Wear A Smile And Have Friends; Wear A Scowl And Have Wrinkles.

Great Feelings Will Often Take The Aspect Of Error, And Great Faith The Aspect Of Illusion.

Life Is Too Precious To Be Spent In This Weaving And Unweaving Of False Impressions, And It Is Better To Live Quietly Under Some Degree Of Misrepresentation Than To Attempt To Remove It By The Uncertain Process Of Letter-writing.

Doubtless A Great Anguish May Do The Work Of Years, And We May Come Out From That Baptism Of Fire With A Soul Full Of New Awe And New Pity.

Nothing At Times Is More Expressive Than Silence.
