Contact with the world either breaks or hardens the heart.--_Chamfort._

Why, then the world's mine oyster, which I with sword will

open.--_Shakespeare._

~Worship.~--Worship as though the Deity were present. If my mind is not

engaged in my worship, it is as though I worshiped not.--_Confucius._

~Writing.~--Writing, after all, is a cold and coarse interpreter of

thought. How much of the imagination, how much of the intellect,

evaporates and is lost while we seek to embody it in words! Man made

language and God the genius.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
