Nothing is so good as it seems

Troubles easy born when every

uor.
There is no sorrow greater than
to love what is great, and try to
reach it, and yet fail. i.

No story is the same to us after
the apse of time; or rather, we

interpreters.
Every mans work pursued
steadily tends to become an end
in itself, and so to bridge over the
loveless chasms of his life.
It's easy finding reasons why
other people should be patient.
Ignorance is not so damnable as
humbug, but whe il prescribes
