Truth Is The Nursing Mother Of Genius.

We Cannot Have Expression Till There Is Something To Be Expressed.

Genius Will Live And Thrive Without Training, But It Does Not The Less Reward The Watering Pot And The Pruning Knife.

Beware Of Over-great Pleasure In Being Popular Or Even Beloved.

I Fear I Have Not One Good Word To Say This Fair Morning, Though The Sun Shines So Encouragingly On The Distant Hills And Gentle River And The Trees Are In Their Festive Hues. I Am Not Festive, Though Contented. When Obliged To Give Myself To The Prose Of Life, As I Am On This Occasion Of Being Established In A New Home I Like To Do The Thing, Wholly And Quite, - To Weave My Web For The Day Solely From The Grey Yarn.

Beware Of Over-great Pleasure In Being Popular Or Even Beloved. As Far As An Amiable Disposition And Powers Of Entertainment Make You So, It Is A Happiness; But If There Is One Grain Of Plausibility, It Is Poison.
