Vexations May Be Petty, But They Are

Decency, Not To Dare To Do That In Public Which It Is Decent Enough To Do In Private.

Is It Not Better To Remain In Suspense Than To Entangle Yourself In The Many Errors That The Human Fancy Has Produced? Is It Not Better To Suspend Your Convictions Than To Get Mixed Up In These Seditious And Quarrelsome Divisions?

Whatever I May Be, I Want To Be Elsewhere Than On Paper. My Art And My Industry Have Been Employed In Making Myself Good For Something; My Studies, In Teaching Me To Do, Not To Write. I Have Put All My Efforts Into Forming My Life. That Is My Trade And My Work.

The Dispersing And Scattering Our Names Into Many Mouths, We Call Making Them More Great.

Whoever Will Be Cured Of Ignorance, Let Him Confess It.
