No writing is good that does not tend to better mankind in some way or other.

Cavil you may, but never criticise.

True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest who have learned to dance.

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.

Virtue alone is happiness below.

Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.

Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be, In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend; And if the means be just, the conduct true, Applause, in spite of trivial faults, is due.
