More Men Have Become Great Through Practice

Men Have Made An Idol Of Luck As An Excuse For Their Own Thoughtlessness.

Men Have Fashioned An Image Of Chance As An Excuse For Their Own Stupidity. For Chance Rarely Conflicts With Intelligence, And Most Things In Life Can Be Set In Order By An Intelligent Sharpsightedness.

Men Should Strive To Think Much And Know Little.

Life Unexamined, Is Not Worth Living.
