The doctrine of Necessity or Destiny is the doctrine of Toleration.

It is doubtless a vice to turn one's eyes inward too much, but I am my own comedy and tragedy.

But also the constituency determines the vote of the representative. He is not only representative, but participant. Like can onlybe known by like. The reason why he knows about them is, that he is of them; he has just come out of nature, or from being a part of the thing.

Nature forever puts a premium on reality. What is done for effect is seen to be done for effect; what is done for love is felt to be done for love. A man inspires affection and honor because he was not lying in wait for these.

Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.
