The Desire To Explain What Is Simple

A Man's Manners Are A Mirror In Which He Shows His Portrait.

Opponents Fancy They Refute Us When They Repeat Their Own Opinion And Pay No Attention To Ours.

To Act Is Easy; To Think Is Hard.

Let Us Seek To Fathom Those Things That Are Fathomable And Reserve Those Things Which Are Unfathomable For Reverence In Quietude.

Happy Is It, Indeed, For Me That My Heart Is Capable Of Feeling The Same Simple And Innocent Pleasure As The Peasant Whose Table Is Covered With Food Of His Own Rearing, And Who Not Only Enjoys His Meal, But Remembers With Delight The Happy Days And Sunny Mornings When He Planted It, The Soft Evenings When He Watered It, And The Pleasure He Experienced In Watching Its Daily Growth.
