There Is No Den In The Wide

Most Of The Great Results Of History Are Brought About By Discreditable Means.

Only Those Books Come Down Which Deserve To Last . All The Gilt Edges, Vellum And Morocco, All The Presentation Copies To All The Libraries Will Not Preserve A Book In Circulation Beyond Its Intrinsic Date.

Expediency Of Literature, Reason Of Literature, Lawfulness Of Writing Down A Thought, Is Questioned; Much Is To Say On Both Sides,and, While The Fight Waxes Hot, Thou, Dearest Scholar, Stick To Thy Foolish Task, Add A Line Every Hour, And Between Whiles Add A Line.

The Modernness Of All Good Books Seems To Give Men An Existence As Wide As Man.

The Unsaid Part Is The Best Of Every Discourse.
