He Who Cannot Resist Temptation Is Not

It Is Well, When The Wise And The Learned Discover New Truths; But How Much Better To Diffuse The Truths Already Discovered, Amongst The Multitude! Every Addition To True Knowledge Is An Addition To Human Power; And While A Philosopher Is Discovering One New Truth, Millions May Be Propagated Amongst The People. Diffusion, Then, Rather Than Discovery, Is The Duty Of Our Government.

Keep One Thing In View Forever- The Truth; And If You Do This, Though It May Seem To Lead You Away From The Opinion Of Men, It Will Assuredly Conduct You To The Throne Of God.

Even The Choicest Literature Should Be Taken As The Condiment, And Not As The Sustenance Of Life. It Should Be Neither The Warp Nor The Woof Of Existence, But Only The Flowery Edging Upon Its Borders.

He Who Cannot Resist Temptation Is Not A Man. Whoever Yields To Temptation Debases Himself With A Debasement From Which He Can Never Arise.

You May As Well Borrow A Person's Money As His Time.
