The expression of one's thoughts and feelings
Will do more to educate and relieve the mind
Than any amount of reading
-
The result of other people's thoughts should act on us but as a suggestion
As a stimulant of one's own
-
One's attitude should be both critical and sceptical from the outset
And
Extremes should be avoided
-
No one is completely right
No one is completely wrong
-
Above all
Is misunderstanding
