Truth Sometimes Corner Unawares Upon Caution, And Sometimes Speaks In Public As Unconsciously As In A Dream.

If There Were No Falsehood In The World, There Would Be No Doubt, If There Were No Doubt, There Would Be No Inquiry; If No Inquiry, No Wisdom, No Knowledge, No Genius; And Fancy Herself Would Lie Muffled Up In Her Robe, Inactive, Pale, And Bloated.

A Great Man Knows The Value Of Greatness; He Dares Not Hazard It, He Will Not Squander It.

Circumstances Form The Character; But, Like Petrifying Matters, They Harden While They Form.
