You Shall Abstain, Shall Abstain. That Is

Wisdom Is Only Found In Truth. [ger., Die Weisheit Ist Nur In Der Wahrheit.]

The Absence Of Temptation Is The Absence Of Virtue.

It Seems To Me That Every Phenomenon, Every Fact, Itself Is The Really Interesting Object. Whoever Explains It, Or Connects It With Other Events, Usually Only Amuses Himself Or Makes Sport Of Us, As, For Instance, The Naturalist Or Historian. But A Single Action Or Event Is Interesting, Not Because It Is Explainable, But Because It Is True.

To Appreciate The Noble Is A Gain Which Can Never Be Torn From Us.

God Help Us -- For Art Is Long, And Life So Short.
