The thinker is not content with mere facts and 
objects, effects and statements. He is inclined to 
search for principles, purposes, causes, laws. Ap¬ 
pearances do not satisfy him. He seeks inward, 
upward, downward, so that, if possible, he may 
find the substance, the essence. All things seem 
to him to change for the better. The insignifi¬ 
cant beeotms full of meaning; the worthless dis¬ 
plays wealth; dull things become charming; dead 
things become living. He prizes every moment 
of time, as worth a thought and a thrill. Every 
where, he is finder of reasons. He finds them in 
the street, in the solitude of the forest, among 
earnest people and among frivolous people, in 
prosperity and in adversity, at festivals and at 
funerals. All day long, his mind grapples gladly 
with its own difficult questions. Thought, with
