| Jeremy Collier
As the language of the face is universal, so 'tis very comprehensive; no laconism can reach it: 'Tis the short hand of the mind, and crowds a great deal in a little room. Books support us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves. Everyone has a fair turn to be as great as he pleases. How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination. I used to walk to school with my nose buried in a book.

Perpetual pushing and assurance put a difficulty out of countenance and make a seeming difficulty gives way. True courage is a result of reasoning. A brave mind is always impregnable. |
