The age of man resembles a book; infancy and old age are the blank pages, youth the preface, and man the body or most important part of life’s volume.A book, like a grape-vine, should have good fruit among its leaves.A critic is like an idler amusing himself with a spy-glass; he looks at the defects of a work through the end that magnifies, then inverts the instrument to discover the virtues.Railroads are like the human race, they have their stopping places and their termini; but unlike the human race they can make a return journey.
