Deeds Survive The Doers.

Avoid Witticisms At The Expense Of Others.

The Most Formidable Attribute Of Temptation Is Its Increasing Power, Its Accelerating Ratio Of Velocity. Every Act Of Repetition Increases Power, Diminishes Resistance. It Is Like The Letting Out Of Waters-where A Drop Can Go, A River Can Go. Whoever Yields To Temptation, Subjects Himself To The Law Of Falling Bodies.

A Republican Form Of Government, Without Intelligence In The People, Must Be, On A Vast Scale, What A Mad-house, Without Superintendent Or Keepers, Would Be On A Small One.

Even The Choicest Literature Should Be Taken As The Condiment, And Not As The Sustenance Of Life. It Should Be Neither The Warp Nor The Woof Of Existence, But Only The Flowery Edging Upon Its Borders.

He Who Cannot Resist Temptation Is Not A Man.
