"The world is deceitful; her end is doubtful, her conclusion is horrible, her judge terrible, and her judgment is intolerable."

That queen, of error, whom we call fancy and opinion, is the more deceitful because she does not always deceive. She would be the infallible rule of truth if she were the infallible rule of falsehood; but being only most frequently in error, she gives no evidence of her real quality, for she marks with the same character both that which is true and that which is false.
