The Thought, The Deadly Thought

The Only Means Of Strengthening One's Intellect Is To Make Up One's Mind About Nothing, To Let The Mind Be A Thoroughfare For All Thoughts.

Failure Is In A Sense The Highway To Success, As Each Discovery Of What Is False Leads Us To Seek Earnestly After What Is True.

What Is There In Thee, Moon! That Thou Should'st Move My Heart So Potently?

Feeling Well That Breathed Words Would All Be Lost, Unheard, And Vain As Swords Against The Enchased Crocodile, Or Leaps Of Grasshoppers Against The Sun.

O For The Gentleness Of Old Romance, The Simple Planning Of A Minstrel's Song!
