We Must Form Our Minds By Reading

Minds That Are Stupid And Incapable Of Science Are In The Order Of Nature To Be Regarded As Monsters And Other Extraordinary Phenomena; Minds Of This Sort Are Rare. Hence I Conclude That There Are Great Resources To Be Found In Children, Which Are Suffered To Vanish With Their Years. It Is Evident, Therefore, That It Is Not Of Nature, But Of Our Own Negligence, We Ought To Complain.

It Is The Heart Which Inspires Eloquence.

Whilst We Deliberate How To Begin A Thing, It Grows Too Late To Begin It.

For It Would Have Been Better That Man Should Have Been Born Dumb, Nay, Void Of All Reason, Rather Than That He Should Employ The Gifts Of Providence To The Destruction Of His Neighbor.

There Is No One Who Would Not Rather Appear To Know Than To Be Taught.
