The derangement brings about the enfeeblement, verging on paralysis, of the capacity to govern.

It may, if it cannot be arrested and reversed, bring about the fall of the West.

The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest. He is a fellow who thoroughly enjoys his work, just as people who take bird walks enjoy theirs. Each excursion of the essayist, each new attempt, differs from the last and takes him into new country.

Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

Stay at home in your mind. Don't recite other people's opinions. I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
Men get opinions as boys learn to spell by reiteration chiefly.
