Nothing Is So Useless As A General

Both In Individuals And In Masses Violent Excitement Is Always Followed By Remission, And Often By Reaction. We Are All Inclined To Depreciate Whatever We Have Overpraised, And, On The Other Hand, To Show Undue Indulgence Where We Have Shown Undue Rigor.

Sense Can Support Herself Handsomely In Most Countries On Some Eighteen Pence A Day; But For Fantasy, Planets And Solar Systems, Will Not Suffice.

So True It Is, That Nature Has Caprices Which Art Cannot Imitate.

It Is Good To Be Often Reminded Of The Inconsistency Of Human Nature, And To Learn To Look Without Wonder Or Disgust On The Weaknesses Which Are Found In The Strongest Minds.
