In selfish men caution is as secure an armour for their foes as for themselves.

Paltry supply with capable means is one face of iniquity.

Sometimes we realize that we are like facebook ,
people using us for themselves , meeting each other via us ,
all credit going to the owner ,
even no one talking about us ,
just using US .

Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.

Whether it is the old lady's fear, or the many ghostly traditions of this place, or the crucifix itself, I do not know, but I am not feeling nearly as easy in my mind as usual.

There are mysteries which men can only guess at, which age by age they may solve only in part.
