No Person, I Think, Ever Saw A Herd Of Buffalo, Of Which A Few Were Fat And The Great Majority Lean. No Person Ever Saw A Flock Of Birds, Of Which Two Or Three Were Swimming In Grease, And The Others All Skin And Bone.

Discovery Can Give No Right Of Ownership, For Whatever Is Discovered Must Have Been Already Here To Be Discovered. If A Man Makes A Wheelbarrow, Or A Book, Or A Picture, He Has A Moral Right To That Particular Wheelbarrow, Or Book, Or Picture, But No Right To Ask That Others Be Prevented From Making Similar Things. Such A Prohibition, Though Given For The Purpose Of Stimulating Discovery And Invention, Really In The Long Run Operates As A Check Upon Them.
