I Find That The Best Virtue I

Painting Myself For Others, I Have Painted My Inward Self With Colors Clearer Than My Original Ones. I Have No More Made My Book Than My Book Has Made Me--a Book Consubstantial With Its Author, Concerned With My Own Self, An Integral Part Of My Life; Not Concerned With Some Third-hand, Extraneous Purpose, Like All Other Books.

I Must Accommodate My History To The Hour: I May Presently Change, Not Only By Fortune, But Also By Intention.

In General I Ask For Books That Make Use Of Learning, Not Those That Build It Up.

In My Opinion, Every Rich Man Is A Miser.

Rejoice In The Things That Are Present; All Else Is Beyond Thee.
