I Read, I Study, I Examine, I

I Read, I Study, I Examine, I Listen, I Reflect, And Out Of All Of This I Try To Form An Idea Into Which I Put As Much Common Sense As I Can. I Shall Not Speak Much For Fear Of Saying Foolish Things; I Will Risk Still Less For Fear Of Doing Them, For I Am Not Disposed To Abuse The Confidence Which They Have Deigned To Show Me. Such Is The Conduct Which Until Now I Have Followed And Will Follow.
