Great Men Always Pay Deference To Greater.

Absurdities Are Great Or Small In Proportion To Custom Or Insuetude.

Truth Is A Point, The Subtlest And Finest; Harder Than Adamant; Never To Be Broken, Worn Away, Or Blunted. Its Only Bad Quality Is, That It Is Sure To Hurt Those Who Touch It; And Likely To Draw Blood, Perhaps The Life Blood, Of Those Who Press Earnestly Upon It.

He Who First Praises A Book Becomingly Is Next In Merit To The Author.

Fame Often Rests At First Upon Something Accidental, And Often, Too, Is Swept Away, Or For A Time Removed; But Neither Genius Nor Glory, Is Conferred At Once, Nor Do They Glimmer And Fall, Like Drops In A Grotto, At A Shout.

Fleas Know Not Whether They Are Upon The Body Of A Giant Or Upon One Of Ordinary Size.
