The Legislator Should Keep Two Things Constantly Before His Eyes: 1. The Pure Theory Developed To Its Minutest Details; 2. The Particular Condition Of Actual Things Which He Designs To Reform.

One Must Not Consider A Language As A Product Dead, And Formed But Once; It Is An Animate Being, And Ever Creative. Human Thought Elaborates Itself With The Progress Of Intelligence; And Of This Thought Language Is A Manifestation. An Idiom Cannot Therefore Remain Stationary; It Walks, It Develops, It Grows Up, It Fortifies Itself, It Becomes Old, And It Reaches Decrepitude.

It Is An Absolutely Vain Endeavor To Attempt To Reconstruct Or Even Comprehend The Nature Of A Human Being By Simply Knowing The Forces Which Have Acted Upon Him. However Deeply We Should Like To Penetrate, However Close We Seem To Be Drawing To Truth, One Unknown Quantity Eludes Us: Man's Primordial Energy, His Original Self, That Personality Which Was Given Him With The Gift Of Life Itself. On It Rests Man's True Freedom; It Alone Determines His Real Character.

Results Are Nothing; The Energies Which Produce Them And Which Again Spring From Them Are Everything.

I Lay Very Little Stress Either Upon Asking Or Giving Advice. Generally Speaking, They Who Ask Advice Know What They Wish To Do, And Remain Firm To Their Intentions. A Man May Allow Himself To Be Enlightened On Various Points, Even Upon Matters Of Expediency And Duty; But, After All, He Must Determine His Course Of Action, For Himself.
