There is no man so good who, were he to submit all his thoughts and
actions to the law, would not deserve hanging ten times in his
life.--_Montaigne._
~Innovation.~--The ridiculous rage for innovation, which only increases
the weight of the chains it cannot break, shall never fire my
blood!--_Schiller._
Dislike of innovation proceeds sometimes from the disgust excited by
false humanity, canting hypocrisy, and silly enthusiasm.--_Sydney
Smith._
~Insanity.~--Insanity is not a distinct and separate empire; our ordinary
life borders upon it, and we cross the frontier in some part of our
nature.--_Taine._
~Inspiration.~--Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble
impulse by the name of inspiration? After our subtlest analysis of the
mental process, we must still say that our highest thoughts and our best
deeds are all given to us.--_George Eliot._
