Civilization degrades many in order to exalt the few.
None can teach admirably if not loving his task.
Who speaks to the instincts speaks to the deepest in mankind, and finds the readiest response.
Labor humanizes, exalts.
Sleep on your writing; take a walk over it; scrutinize it of a morning; review it of an afternoon; digest it after a meal; let it sleep in your drawer a twelvemonth; never venture a whisper about it to your friend, if he be an author especially.
The head best leaves to the heart what the heart alone divines.
