I Lay Very Little Stress Either Upon Asking Or Giving Advice. Generally Speaking, They Who Ask Advice Know What They Wish To Do, And Remain Firm To Their Intentions. A Man May Allow Himself To Be Enlightened On Various Points, Even Upon Matters Of Expediency And Duty; But, After All, He Must Determine His Course Of Action, For Himself.

Only What We Have Wrought Into Our Character During Life Can We Take With Us.
Character
One Must Not Consider A Language As A Product Dead, And Formed But Once; It Is An Animate Being, And Ever Creative. Human Thought Elaborates Itself With The Progress Of Intelligence; And Of This Thought Language Is A Manifestation. An Idiom Cannot Therefore Remain Stationary; It Walks, It Develops, It Grows Up, It Fortifies Itself, It Becomes Old, And It Reaches Decrepitude.

Besides The Pleasure Derived From Acquired Knowledge, There Lurks In The Mind Of Man, And Tinged With A Shade Of Sadness, An Unsatisfactory Longing For Something Beyond The Present, A Striving Towards Regions Yet Unknown And Unopened.
