It Is Not Fit That

We Are Thankful For Good-will Rather Than For Services, For The Motive Than The Quantum Of Favor Received.

Nothing Is More Unjust Or Capricious Than Public Opinion.

Any One May Mouth Out A Passage With A Theatrical Cadence, Or Get Upon Stilts To Tell His Thoughts; But To Write Or Speak With Propriety And Simplicity Is A More Difficult Task. Thus It Is Easy To Affect A Pompous Style, To Use A Word Twice As Big As The Thing You Want To Express; It Is Not So Easy To Pitch Upon The Very Word That Exactly Fits It.

The Idea Of What The Public Will Think Prevents The Public From Ever Thinking At All, And Acts As A Spell On The Exercise Of Private Judgment.

If Mankind Had Wished For What Is Right, They Might Have Had It Long Ago.
