For man is not the creature and product of Mechanism; but, in a far truer sense, its creator and producer.

There is often more spiritual force in a proverb than in whole philosophical systems.

Wonderful ''Force of Public Opinion!'' We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realize the sum of money, the degree of ''influence'' it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?

No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment.

The hell of these days is the fear of not getting along, especially of not making money.

The devil has his elect.
