A journal is a record of experiences and growth, not a preserve of things well done and said.

Journal

In a journal it is important in a few words to describe the weather, or character of the day, as if affects our feelings. That which was so important at the time cannot be unimportant to remember.

Journal

Of all strange and unaccountable things this journalizing is the strangest. It will allow nothing to be predicated of it; its good is not good, nor its bad bad. If I make a huge effort to expose my innermost and richest wares to light, my counter seems cluttered with the meanest homemade stuffs; but after months or years I may discover the wealth of India, and whatever rarity is brought overland from Cathay, in that confused heap, and what perhaps seemed a festoon of dried apple or pumpkin will prove a string of Brazilian diamonds, or pearls from Coromandel.
