My Heart Swelled With Uncontrollable

To Have Been Torn From The Study Would Have Been As Death; My Time Was Entirely Occupied With Art.

Great Men Show Politeness In A Particular Way; A Smile Suffices To Assure You That You Are Welcome, And Keep About Their Avocations As If You Were A Member Of The Family.

To Repay Evils With Kindness Is The Religion I Was Taught To Practise, And This Will Forever Be My Rule.

How Could I Make A Little Book, When I Have Seen Enough To Make A Dozen Large Books?

I Never For A Day Gave Up Listening To The Songs Of Our Birds, Or Watching Their Peculiar Habits, Or Delineating Them In The Best Way I Could.
