His failures are the preparation of his victories. A new thought, or a crisis of passion, apprises him that all that he has yet learned and written is exoteric is not the fact, but some rumor of the fact. What then? Does he throw away the pen?

That will give, or will not give, pleasure to his enemies, a matter, by the way, of little importance to us."
