Once You Have A Point Of View

A Man Who Has The Courage Of His Platitudes Is Always A Successful Man. The Instructed Man Is Ashamed To Pronounce In An Orphic Manner What Everybody Knows, And Because He Is Silent People Think He Is Making Fun Of Them. They Like A Man Who Expresses Their Own Superficial Thoughts In A Manner That Appears To Be Profound. This Enables Them To Feel That They Are Themselves Profound.

People Of Small Calibre Are Always Carping. How Affected So-and-so Is! Don't You Think He Is Silly? He Was Certainly Quite Mistaken About This Or That. They Are Bent On Showing Their Own Superiority, Their Knowledge Or Their Prowess Or Good Breeding.

Longfellow Is To Poetry What The Barrel-organ Is To Music.

Magnanimous People Have No Vanity, They Have No Jealousy, And They Feed On The True And The Solid Wherever They Find It. And, What Is More, They Find It Everywhere.

The Creative Impulses Of Man Are Always At War With The Possessive Impulses.
