“Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

“These things do not happen by chance. There is much less luck in public affairs than some suppose.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
