As A General Rule, People Disappoint You

The Greatest Benefit Derived From The Study Of Science Is That It Lifts You Out Of And Above The Littleness Of Daily Trials. We Learn To Live In The Universe As A Part Of It; We Cannot Seperate Ourselves From It - Our Every Act Connects Us With It - Our Every Act Affects The Whole. Standing Under The Canopy Of Stars And Remembering Their Presence You Could Scarcely Do A Petty Deed, Or Think A Wicked Thought.

To Read A Book, To Think It Over, And To Write Out Notes Is A Useful Exercise; A Book Which Will Not Repay Some Hard Thought Is Not Worth Publishing.

But Why Look Back At All? Why Turn Your Eyes To Your Shadow, When, By Looking Upward, You See Your Rainbow In The Same Direction?

We Have A Hunger Of The Mind Which Asks For Knowledge Of All Around Us, And The More We Gain, The More Is Our Desire; The More We See, The More We Are Capable Of Seeing.

I Would As Soon Put A Girl Alone Into A Closet To Meditate As Give Her Only The Society Of Her Needle.
