The Need To Exert Power, When Thwarted

Life Is A Theatre Of Alarms And Contentions.

A Cat Cares For You Only As A Source Of Food, Security And A Place In The Sun.

The Chief Misery Of The Decline Of The Faculties, And A Main Cause Of The Irritability That Often Goes With It, Is Evidently The Isolation, The Lack Of Customary Appreciation And Influence, Which Only The Rarest Tact And Thoughtfulness On The Part Of Others Can Alleviate.

To Have No Heroes Is To Have No Aspiration, To Live On The Momentum Of The Past, To Be Thrown Back Upon Routine, Sensuality, And The Narrow Self.

The Mind Is Not A Hermit's Cell, But A Place Of Hospitality And Intercourse.
