When We Cannot Hope To Win, It

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 Nurse That The Child First Hears, And Her Words That He Will First Attempt To Imitate.

Everything That Has A Beginning Comes To An End.

When We Cannot Hope To Win, It Is An Advantage To Yield.
