I Have Felt In My Very Blood,

I Saw That Everything Famous And Beautiful In The World, If We Judge By The Descriptions And Drawings Of Writers And Artists, Always Loses When We Go To See It And Examine It Closely.

The Spirit Of Rebellion Is Present In Every Great City, And The Great Task Of Wise Government Is To Keep It Dormant, For If It Wakes It Is A Torrent Which No Dam Can Hold Back.

In The Mean Time I Worship God, Laying Every Wrong Action Under An Interdict Which I Endeavour To Respect, And I Loathe The Wicked Without Doing Them Any Injury.

My Success And My Misfortunes, The Bright And The Dark Days I Have Gone Through, Everything Has Proved To Me That In This World, Either Physical Or Moral, Good Comes Out Of Evil Just As Well As Evil Comes Out Of Good.

I Am Bound To Add That The Excess In Too Little Has Ever Proved In Me More Dangerous Than The Excess In Too Much; The Last May Cause Indigestion, But The First Causes Death.
