    Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man.

    Our institutions have a potent digestion, and may in time convert and assimilate to good all elements thrown in, however originally alien.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.—But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,—on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,—and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,—but always something more important in our hearts.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
