It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Truth, when not sought after, rarely comes to light.

So long as the body is affected through the mind, no audacious device, even of the most manifestly dishonest character, can fail of producing occasional good to those who yield it an implicit or even a partial faith. The argument founded on this occasional good would be as applicable in justifying the counterfeiter and giving circulation to his base coin, on the ground that a spurious dollar had often relieved a poor man's necessities.

How many people live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made!
