Splints of,Thought.

Beauty and truth combined art. The fool nevef does as he says; the wise man never says what he does. Wit, like unwholesome sleep, must come'unbidden and unasked. Three things thou canst not buy at any price: True friendship, lovetand woman’s loyalty. Whenever a new savior turns up there will also be a new Judas. Happiness is nearly always a thing of the past, or the future, rarely a fact of the present. Often nothing but our past stands in the way of our future. The mind is the Prometheus that is chained to the rook—body. Public opinion is like a vexingglass, which reflects thiags sometimes too large, sometimes too small, but always distorted.
