IN PASSING
There is no knowledge that is not power.—Emerson.
Generally speaking, the life of all truly great men has been a life of intense and incessant labour. —Sidney Smith; In the books of Lewis Carroll, as in those of no other writer, we find the time mirror for our own generation.—Lord David Cecil. Better a cry, however crude, than an echo; better a gesture than immobility; better a face than a photograph.—Sir John Foster Fraser. Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity there are a lftindred that will stand adversity.—Carlylo. Every day that is born into the world comes like "a burst of music and rings itself #ll the way through, and thou shalt make of it a dirge or a life-march, as thou wilt. —Carlyle. Wait not to be backed by numbers. Wait not till you are sure of an echo from the crowd. The fewer the voices on the side of truth, the more distinct and strong must be your own.—Charming. Shall I teach you what knowledge is ? When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it—that is knowledge—Confucius.
