One Has No Friend Who Has Many

Art Takes Nature As Its Model.

...we Are All Inclined To ... Direct Our Inquiry Not By The Matter Itself, But By The Views Of Our Opponents; And, Even When Interrogating Oneself, One Pushes The Inquiry Only To The Point At Which One Can No Longer Offer Any Opposition. Hence A Good Inquirer Will Be One Who Is Ready In Bringing Forward The Objections Proper To The Genus, And That He Will Be When He Has Gained An Understanding Of The Differences.

A Friend To All Is A Friend To None.

Consider Pleasures As They Depart, Not As They Come.

Our Characters Are The Result Of Our Conduct.
