Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
From Alexander Pope
True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, as those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.
Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing.
The worst of madmen is a saint run mad.
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.
Never find fault with the absent.
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
