Inquiry Is Human; Blind Obedience Brutal. Truth

Show Is Not Substance; Realities Govern Wise Men.

Inquire Often, But Judge Rarely, And Thou Wilt Not Often Be Mistaken.

Nor Yet Be Overeager In Pursuit Of Any Thing; For The Mercurial Too Often Happen To Leave Judgment Behind Them, And Sometimes Make Work For Repentance.

No Pain, No Palm; No Thorns, No Throne; No Gall, No Glory; No Cross, No Crown.

It Is The Amends Of A Short And Troublesome Life, That Doing Good And Suffering Ill Entitles Man To A Longer And Better.
