“Conversation in its happiest development is a link, equally exquisite and adequate, between mind and mind, a system by which men approach one another with sympathy and enjoyment, a field for the finest amenities of civilization, for the keenest and most intelligent display of social activity.

“Wisdom does not depend on mind and memory but on the maturity, purity and perfection of the individual personality. ...
