Wise Men Are Not Wise

Prayer As A Means To Effect A Private End Is Theft And Meanness.

But In Our Experience, Man Is Cheap And Friendship Wants Its Deep Sense. We Affect To Dwell With Our Friends In Their Absence, But We Do Not; When Deed, Word, Or Letter Comes Not, They Let Us Go.

We Change Whether We Like It Or Not.

Men Wish To Be Saved From The Mischiefs Of Their Vices, But Not From Their Vices.

The Power Of A Man Increases Steadily By Continuing In One Direction.
