There Is Guidance For Each Of Us, And By Lowly Listening We Shall Hear The Right Word.

Thought And Knowledge Are Natures In Which Apparatus And Pretension Avail Nothing.

Of Cheerfulness, Or A Good Temper - The More It Is Spent, The More Of It Remains.

Our High Respect For A Well-read Man Is Praise Enough For Literature. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
