Great Thoughts Reduced To Practice Become Great

You Know More Of A Road By Having Traveled It Than By All The Conjectures And Descriptions In The World.

The World Loves To Be Amused By Hollow Professions, To Be Deceived By Flattering Appearances, To Live In A State Of Hallucination; And Can Forgive Everything But The Plain, Downright, Simple, Honest Truth.

We Judge Of Others For The Most Part By Their Good Opinion Of Themselves; Yet Nothing Gives Such Offense Or Creates So Many Enemies, As That Extreme Self-complacency Or Superciliousness Of Manner, Which Appears To Set The Opinion Of Every One Else At Defiance.

When A Thing Ceases To Be A Subject Of Controversy, It Ceases To Be A Subject Of Interest.

The Mind Revolts Against Certain Opinions, As The Stomach Rejects Certain Foods.
