IN PASSING
Thinking is becoming a lost art, —Mr. Hamilton Price. It is only in natural science that we continue to produce minds of j the first rank.—Dean Inge. Two months out of work taught me a great deal of my duty to my neighbour.—Mr. Lansburv. I have no respect for or understanding of the clan feeling, which is entirely outside my experience.—Mr. J. B. Priestly. Censorship may remove obscenity, but it is never very effective in improving the standard of taste.—Mr Oliver Stanley. Prefaces to works of art are a sign of incapacity, an acknowledgement of a failure.—Mr. Morley Roberts. I am 55 now, and the enthusiasm I had when I ran away from school to join the stage at the age of 15, and ruined my digestion by eating dog discuits in the first two years, is with me still.—Miss Nancy Price. That low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees it and does it: This high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ere he knows it. That low man goes on adding one to one, His hundred's soon hit: This high man aiming at a million, Misses a unit. That, has the world here—should he need the next, Let the world mind him! This, throws himself on God, and, perplexed, Seeking, shall find Him. —Robert Browning.
