"The young ought to be temperate in the use of this great art until practice
and experience shall give them that confidence, elegance, and precision which
alone can make the accomplishment graceful and profitable. Patience, diligence,
painstaking attention to detail -- these are the requirements; these, in time,
will make the student perfect; upon these, and upon these only, may he rely
as the sure foundation for future eminence. Think what tedious years of study,
thought, practice, experience, went to the equipment of that peerless old master
who was able to impose upon the whole world the lofty and sounding maxim that
"Truth is mighty and will prevail"-- the most majestic compound fracture
of fact which any of woman born has yet achieved. For the history of our race,
and each individual's experience, are sewn thick with evidences that a truth
is not hard to kill, and that a lie well told is immortal." - Mark Twain
