Chains Of Iron Or Of Silk-both Are

The Mind Is The Eyesight Of The Soul.

Man Is An Imitative Creature.

Historians Are Prophets With Their Face Turned Backward.

Rigor Pushed Too Far Is Sure To Miss Its Aim, However Good, As The Bow Snaps That Is Bent Too Stiffly.

Far Must Thy Researches Go Wouldst Thou Learn The World To Know; Thou Must Tempt The Dark Abyss Wouldst Thou Prove What Being Is; Naught But Firmness Gains The Prize, Naught But Fullness Makes Us Wise, Buried Deep Truth E'er Lies.
