The Public Can Only Be Really Moved

Books Minister To Our Knowledge, To Our Guidance, And To Our Delight, By Their Truth, Their Uprightness, And Their Art.

The Prosperity Of A Book Lies In The Minds Of Readers. Public Knowledge And Public Taste Fluctuate; And There Come Times When Works Which Were Once Capable Of Instructing And Delighting Thousands Lose Their Power, And Works, Before Neglected, Emerge Into Renown.

There Are Many Justifications Of Silence; There Can Be None Of Insincerity.

The Delusions Of Self-love Cannot Be Prevented, But Intellectual Misconceptions As To The Means Of Achieving Success May Be Corrected.

Philosophy And Art Both Render The Invisible Visible By Imagination.
