Obscurity Is The Realm Of Error.

Great Men Undertake Great Things Because They Are Great; Fools, Because They Think Them Easy.

There Does Not Exist A Man Sufficiently Intelligent Never To Be Tiresome.

In A Way, The Main Fault Of All Books Is That They Are Too Long.

We Ought Never To Be Afraid To Repeat An Ancient Truth, When We Feel That We Can Make It More Striking By A Neater Turn, Or Bring It Alongside Of Another Truth, Which May Make It Clearer, And Thereby Accumulate Evidence. It Belongs To The Inventive Faculty To See Clearly The Relative State Of Things, And To Be Able To Place Them In Connection; But The Discoveries Of Ages Gone By Belong Less To Their First Authors Than To Those Who Make Them Practically Useful To The World.

If Anyone Accuses Me Of Contradicting Myself, I Shall Reply; I Have Been Wrong Once Or More Often, However I Do Not Aspire To Be Always Wrong.
