I Think That An Author

Be Civil To All; Sociable To Many; Familiar With Few.

No One But An Adventurous Traveler Can Know The Luxury Of Sleep.

Mediocrity Can Talk, But It Is For Genius To Observe.

Some Will Read Only Old Books, As If There Were No Valuable Truths To Be Discovered In Modern Publications: Others Will Only Read New Books, As If Some Valuable Truths Are Not Among The Old. Some Will Not Read A Book Because They Know The Author: Others . . . Would Also Read The Man.

All Of Us Encounter, At Least Once In Our Life, Some Individual Who Utters Words That Make Us Think Forever. There Are Men Whose Phrases Are Oracles; Who Condense In One Sentence The Secrets Of Life; Who Blurt Out An Aphorism That Forms A Character Or Illustrates An Existence.
