"PREFERENCE, n. A sentiment, or frame of mind, induced by the erroneous belief that one thing is better than another."

Previous Quote

Man is more himself, man is more manlike, when joy is the fundamental thing in him, and grief the superficial. Melancholy should be an innocent interlude, a tender and fugitive frame of mind; praise should be the permanent pulsation of the soul.

— Gilbert K. Chesterton
