I See Not Any Road

The First Thing A Great Person Does Is Make Us Realize The Insignificance Of Circumstance.

Besides, Our Action On Each Other, Good As Well As Evil, Is So Incidental And At Random, That We Can Seldom Hear The Acknowledgments Of Any Person Who Would Thank Us For A Benefit, Without Some Shame And Humiliation. We Can Rarely Strike A Direct Stroke, But Must Be Content With An Oblique One; We Seldom Have The Satisfaction Of Yielding A Direct Benefit, Which Is Directly Received.

To Believe In Luck, If It Were Not A Solecism So To Use The Word Believe, Is Skepticism.

God Will Have Life To Be Real; We Will Be Damned, But It Shall Be Theatrical.

From Washington, Proverbially "the City Of Distances," Through All Its Cities, States, And Territories, It Is A Country Of Beginnings, Of Projects, Of Designs, And Expectations.
