Virtue Is An Angel, But She Is

No Combatants Are So Unequally Matched As When One Is Shackled With Error, While The Other Rejoices In The Self-demonstrability Of Truth.

It Is Well, When The Wise And The Learned Discover New Truths; But How Much Better To Diffuse The Truths Already Discovered, Amongst The Multitude! Every Addition To True Knowledge Is An Addition To Human Power; And While A Philosopher Is Discovering One New Truth, Millions May Be Propagated Amongst The People. Diffusion, Then, Rather Than Discovery, Is The Duty Of Our Government.

Whatever Statesman Or Sage Will Effect Reforms Upon A Gigantic Or Godlike Scale Must Begin With The Young.

Genius May Conceive But Patient Labor Must Consummate.

Praise Begets Emulation,--a Goodly Seed To Sow Among Youthful Students.
