No age, sex, or condition is above or below the absolute necessity of modesty; but without it one is vastly beneath the rank of man.

Obstinacy and vehemency in opinion are the surest proofs of stupidity.

And myself replied to me;
And the questions myself then put to myself,
With their answers, I give to thee.
