Too Many Moralists Begin With A Dislike

The Test Of A Civilized Person Is First Self-awareness, And Then Depth After Depth Of Sincerity In Self-confrontation.

It Is Fair To Judge Peoples By The Rights They Will Sacrifice Most For.

This Is A Hard And Precarious World, Where Every Mistake And Infirmity Must Be Paid For In Full.

The Real World Is Not Easy To Live In. It Is Rough; It Is Slippery. Without The Most Clear-eyed Adjustments We Fall And Get Crushed. A Man Must Stay Sober; Not Always, But Most Of The Time.

The World Of Books Is The Most Remarkable Creation Of Man. Nothing Else That He Builds Ever Lasts. Monuments Fall; Nations Perish; Civilizations Grow Old And Die Out; And, After An Era Of Darkness, New Races Build Others. But In The World Of Books Are Volumes That Have Seen This Happen Again And Again, And Yet Live On, Still Young, Still As Fresh As The Day They Were Written, Still Telling Men's Hearts Of The Hearts Of Men Centuries Dead.
