Lately We Have Had Many Losses.

While We Ponder When To Begin, It Becomes Too Late To Do.

The Learned Understand The Reason Of Art; The Unlearned Feel The Pleasure.

The Gifts Of Nature Are Infinite In Their Variety, And Mind Differs From Mind Almost As Much As Body From Body.

Minds That Are Stupid And Incapable Of Science Are In The Order Of Nature To Be Regarded As Monsters And Other Extraordinary Phenomena; Minds Of This Sort Are Rare. Hence I Conclude That There Are Great Resources To Be Found In Children, Which Are Suffered To Vanish With Their Years. It Is Evident, Therefore, That It Is Not Of Nature, But Of Our Own Negligence, We Ought To Complain.

When Defeat Is Inevitable, It Is Wisest To Yield.
