One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books, though preparation is necessary to profitable reading; and the less reading is better than more;--book-struck men are of all readers least wise, however knowing or learned.

The head best leaves to the heart what the heart alone divines.
Many are those who can argue; few are those who can converse
A work of real merit finds favor at last.
