There Was A Time When The World

Success Serves Men As A Pedestal. It Makes Them Seem Greater When Not Measured By Reflection.

Illusion And Wisdom Combined Are The Charm Of Life And Art.

Maxims Are To The Intellect What Laws Are To Actions; They Do Not Enlighten, But They Guide And Direct, And, Although Themselves Blind, Are Protective.

History Needs Distance, Perspective. Facts And Events Which Are Too Well Attested Cease, In Some Sort, To Be Malleable.

Be Saving, But Not At The Cost Of All Liberality. Have The Soul Of A King And The Hand Of A Wise Economist.
