Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything.

Saying 'yes' is how things grow.

I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy, The sleepless soul that perished in his pride; Of him who walked in glory and in joy, Following his plough, along the mountain-side.

As I look back, I feel a touch of pride at my younger self's dedication to literature, which gave him the strength of mind to resist the blandishments of the enemies of promise.
