The Rapid Progress Of The Sciences Makes Me Sorry, At Times, That I Was Born So Soon. Imagine The Power That Man Will Have Over Matter, A Few Hundred Years From Now. We May Learn How To Remove Gravity From Large Masses, And Float Them Over Great Distances. Agriculture Will Double Its Produce With Less Labor. All Diseases Will Surely Be Cured... Even Old Age. If Only The Moral Sciences Could Be Improved As Well. Perhaps Men Would Cease To Be Wolves To One Another... And Human Beings Could Learn To Be Human.

We Are Not So Sensible Of The Greatest Health As Of The Least Sickness.

Virtues, Of ... Justice: Wrong None By Doing Injuries Or Omitting The Benefits That Are Your Duty.

I Wish The Bald Eagle Had Not Been Chosen As The Representative Of Our Country; He Is A Bird Of Bad Moral Character; Like Those Among Men Who Live By Sharping And Robbing, He Is Generally Poor, And Often Very Lousy. The Turkey Is A Much More Respectable Bird, And Withal A True Original Native Of America.
