No Man Can Fall Into Contempt But

To Expect That The Intricacies Of Science Will Be Pierced By A Careless Glance, Or The Eminences Of Fame Ascended Without Labour, Is To Expect A Peculiar Privilege, A Power Denied To The Rest Of Mankind; But To Suppose That The Maze Is Inscrutable To Diligence, Or The Heights Inaccessible To Perseverance, Is To Submit Tamely To The Tyranny Of Fancy, And Enchain The Mind In Voluntary Shackles.

Everything That Enlarges The Sphere Of Human Powers, That Shows Man He Can Do What He Thought He Could Not Do, Is Valuable.

The Dependant Who Cultivates Delicacy In Himself Very Little Consults His Own Tranquillity.

No Man Likes To Live Under The Eye Of Perpetual Disapprobation.

How Few Of His Friends' Houses Would A Man Choose To Be At When He Is Sick.
