What Is Meat For One Is Not

Wisdom And Penetration Are The Fruit Of Experience, Not The Lessons Of Retirement And Leisure. Great Necessities Call Out Great Virtues.

These Are The Times In Which A Genius Would Wish To Live. It Is Not In The Still Calm Of Life, Or The Repose Of A Pacific Station, That Great Characters Are Formed. The Habits Of A Vigorous Mind Are Formed In Contending With Difficulties. Great Necessities Call Out Great Virtues. When A Mind Is Raised, And Animated By Scenes That Engage The Heart, Then Those Qualities Which Would Otherwise Lay Dormant, Wake Into Life And Form The Character Of The Hero And The Statesman.

Men Of Sense In All Ages Abhor Those Customs Which Treat Us Only As The Vassals Of Your Sex.

Great Learning And Superior Abilities...will Be Of Little Value And Small Estimation Unless Virtue, Honor, Truth, And Integrity Are Added To Them.

What Is Meat For One Is Not For Another--no Accounting For Fancy.
