The Judgment Of Posterity Is Truer, Because

Those Who Do Not Know History Will Forever Remain Children

But As To The Affection Which Anyone May Have For Us, It Is The First Demand Of Duty That We Do Most For Him Who Loves Us Most; But We Should Measure Affection, Not Like Youngsters, By The Ardour Of Its Passion, But Rather By Its Strength And Constancy.

These Studies Are A Spur To The Young, A Delight To The Old: An Ornament In Prosperity, A Consoling Refuge In Adversity; They Are Pleasure For Us At Home, And No Burden Abroad; They Stay Up With Us At Night, They Accompany Us When We Travel, They Are With Us In Our Country Visits.

Wisdom Is Not Only To Be Acquired, But Enjoyed.

The First Duty Of Man Is The Seeking After And The Investigation Of Truth.
