Clearness Marks The Sincerity Of Philosophers.

If Children Had Teachers For Judgment And Eloquence Just As They Have For Languages, If Their Memory Was Exercised Less Than Their Energy Or Their Natural Genius, If Instead Of Deadening Their Vivacity Of Mind We Tried To Elevate The Free Scope And Impulse Of Their Souls, What Might Not Result From A Fine Disposition? As It Is, We Forget That Courage, Or Love Of Truth And Glory Are The Virtues That Matter Most In Youth; And Our One Endeavour Is To Subdue Our Children's Spirits, In Order To Teach Them That Dependence And Suppleness Are The First Laws Of Success In Life.

A Man Who Love Only Himself And His Pleasures Is Vain, Presumptuous, And Wicked Even From Principle.

In Order To Protect Himself From Force, Man Was Obliged To Submit To Justice. Justice Or Force: He Was Compelled To Choose Between The Two Masters, So Little Are We Made To Be Independent.

All Grand Thoughts Come From The Heart.

The Maxim That Men Are Not To Be Praised Before Their Death Was Invented By Envy And Too Lightly Adopted By Philosophers.
