Children Need Models Rather Than Critics.

Tenderness Is The Rest Of Passion.

Professional Critics Are Incapable Of Distinguishing And Appreciating Either Diamonds In The Rough Or Gold In Bars. They Are Traders, And In Literature Know Only The Coins That Are Current. Their Critical Lab Has Scales And Weights, But Neither Crucible Or Touchstone.

To Be An Agreeable Guest One Need Only Enjoy Oneself.

Moderation Consists In Being Moved As Angels Are Moved.

Maxims Are To The Intellect What Laws Are To Actions; They Do Not Enlighten, But They Guide And Direct, And, Although Themselves Blind, Are Protective.
