BNo art, no suppleness of mind, could guide our steps in following so erratic and unregulated a guide. In that windy confusion of rumors, reports, and popular opinions that push us about, no worth-while road can be charted. Let us not set ourselves a goal so fluctuating and wavering: let us steadfastly follow reason. Let public approbation follow us there, if it will; and since it depends entirely on fortune, we have no reason to expect it rather by any other way than by that one.
