Excerpt from Things Learned by Living
This brief volume is so far of the nature of personal memorabilia, that I do not care to introduce it to the public except through an obviously open door. I leave it, therefore, to others to give or withhold as circumstances may make way for it. Clinging to my convictions with that tenacity which belongs to every healthy mind, I do not doubt that there are many truths in my published works of which the world is finding or will find, the need. I am by no means as certain, however, that these principles will be consciously derived from this source. The truths themselves lie on the horizon of many minds, and are ready to find entrance, sooner or later, at many points. So far as my writings shall contribute to this result, they are as likely to do it indirectly, through the medium of more persuasive presentations, as directly, by their own force. If no wide interest shall attach to the work already done, then these further and more individual experiences would make their way with difficulty and impropriety.
