A Man Might Pass For Insane Who

It Is Chiefly Through Books That We Enjoy Intercourse With Superior Minds. In The Best Books, Great Men Talk To Us, Give Us Their Most Precious Thoughts, And Pour Their Souls Into Ours.

Of All The Discoveries Which Men Need To Make, The Most Important, At The Present Moment, Is That Of The Self-forming Power Treasured Up In Themselves. They Little Suspect Its Extent, As Little As The Savage Apprehends The Energy Which The Mind Is Created To Exert On The Material World.

Difficulties Are Meant To Rouse, Not Discourage. The Human Spirit Is To Grow Strong By Conflict.

Progress, The Growth Of Power, Is The End And Boon Of Liberty; And, Without This, A People May Have The Name, But Want The Substance And Spirit Of Freedom.

Great Minds Are To Make Others Great. Their Superiority Is To Be Used, Not To Break The Multitude To Intellectual Vassalage, Not To Establish Over Them A Spiritual Tyranny, But To Rouse Them From Lethargy, And To Aid Them To Judge For Themselves.
