Human Improvement Is From Within Outward.

Experience Teaches Slowly, And At The Cost Of Mistakes.

There Is Always A Part Of Our Being Into Which Those Who Are Dearer To Us Far Than Our Own Lives Are Yet Unable To Enter.

High Original Genius Is Always Ridiculed On Its First Appearance; Most Of All By Those Who Have Won Themselves The Highest Reputation In Working On The Established Lines. Genius Only Commands Recognition When It Has Created The Taste Which Is To Appreciate It.

Scepticism, Like Wisdom, Springs Out In Full Panoply Only From The Brain Of A God, And It Is Little Profit To See An Idea In Its Growth, Unless We Track Its Seed To The Power Which Sowed It.

Men Are Made By Nature Unequal. It Is Vain, Therefore, To Treat Them As If They Were Equal.
