The Most Beautiful, Perhaps The Only True

Man Is More Disposed To Domination Than Freedom; And A Structure Of Dominion Not Only Gladdens The Eye Of The Master Who Rears And Protects It, But Even Its Servants Are Uplifted By The Thought That They Are Members Of A Whole, Which Rises High Above The Life And Strength Of Single Generations.

Happiness Is So Nonsynonymous With Joy Or Pleasure That It Is Not Infrequently Sought And Felt In Grief And Deprivation.

Natural Objects Themselves, Even When They Make No Claim To Beauty, Excite The Feelings, And Occupy The Imagination. Nature Pleases, Attracts, Delights, Merely Because It Is Nature. We Recognize In It An Infinite Power.

However Great An Evil Immorality May Be, We Must Not Forget That It Is Not Without Its Beneficial Consequences. It Is Only Through Extremes That Men Can Arrive At The Middle Path Of Wisdom And Virtue.

If The Mind Loves Solitude, It Has Thereby Acquired A Loftier Character, And It Becomes Still More Noble When The Taste Is Indulged In.
