I Am Not So Much

Man Is A Noble Animal, Splendid In Ashes, And Pompous In The Grave.

To Believe Only Possibilities Is Not Faith, But Mere Philosophy.

To Be Content With Death May Be Better Than To Desire It.

No One Should Approach The Temple Of Science With The Soul Of A Money Changer.

Be Deaf Unto The Suggestions Of Tale-bearers, Calumniators, Pick-thank Or Malevolent Detractors, Who, While Quiet Men Sleep, Sowing The Tares Of Discord And Division, Distract The Tranquillity Of Charity And All Friendly Society. These Are The Tongues That Set The World On Fire--cankerers Of Reputation, And, Like That Of Jonah's Gourd, Wither A Good Name In A Single Night.
