It is to be regretted that few persons who have arrived at any degree of eminence or fame, have written Memorials of themselves, at least such as have embraced their private as well as their public life. ↗

I think my family and closest friends are learning about my need to withdraw, and I am learning how to restore and store my energy to both serve the community to the best of my ability and to serve my writer's heart. ↗

Learn as much by writing as by reading. ↗

Research to me is as important or more important than the writing. It is the foundation upon which the book is built. ↗
