That Is A Good Book

A Good Book Is Fruitful Of Other Books; It Perpetuates Its Fame From Age To Age, And Makes Eras In The Lives Of Its Readers.

Opposition Strengthens The Manly Will.

There Are Truths That Shield Themselves Behind Veils, And Are Best Spoken By Implication. Even The Sun Veils Himself In His Own Rays To Blind The Gaze Of The Too Curious Starer.

Science Has Grown Frightfully Audacious In These Days -- Swift-footed, Ponderous, Careering Over Her Iron Ways With Unslacking Pace. This Rampant Dragon, On Which I Am Mounted, See How He Bends His Once Stiff Neck To His Rider, Champing His Checked Bit And Pawing The Dust, Impatient To Leap Around The Globe. Genius Is Prescient, Foresees Its Own Might. Man Is Striving Through These Iron-ribbed, Steam-sped Hippogriffs, To Recover His Lost Ubiquity And Omnipotence, And Threatens Soon To Grasp In His Ample Palm, And Fix With Flaming Eye-ball, The Elemental Forces!

Strengthen Me By Sympathizing With My Strength, Not My Weakness.
