Let Not Men Think There Is No

The Most Precious Of All Possessions Is Power Over Ourselves.

Where All Is But Dream, Reasoning And Arguments Are Of No Use, Truth And Knowledge Nothing.

All Rising To Great Place Is By A Winding Stair; And If There Be Factions, It Is Good To Side A Man's Self Whilst He Is In The Rising, And To Balance Himself When He Is Placed.

It Is One Thing To Persuade, Another To Command; One Thing To Press With Arguments, Another With Penalties.

The Thoughts That Come Often Unsought, And, As It Were, Drop Into The Mind, Are Commonly The Most Valuable Of Any We Have.
