Collision is as necessary to produce virtue in men, as it is to elicit fire in inanimate matter; and chivalry is the essence of virtue.

Imagination is that faculty which arouses the passions by the impression of exterior objects; it is influenced by these objects, and consequently it is in affinity with them ; it is contagious ; its fear or courage flies from imagination to imagination ; the same in love, hate, joy, or grief : hence I conclude it to be a most subtle atmosphere.

The Proverb is one man's wit and all men's wisdom.
