Amusement To An Observing Mind Is Study.

What Is Earnest Is Not Always True; On The Contrary Error Is Often More Earnest Than Truth.

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.

Never Take Anything For Granted.

Diligence Is The Mother Of Good Fortune.

Trust Not Overmuch To The Blessed Magdalen; Learn To Protect Yourself.
