A Great Part Of Art Consists In

A Laugh Costs Too Much When Bought At The Expense Of Virtue.

Suffering Itself Does Less Afflict The Senses Than The Apprehension Of Suffering.

Nature Herself Has Never Attempted To Effect Great Changes Rapidly.

Our Minds Are Like Our Stomaches; They Are Whetted By The Change Of Their Food, And Variety Supplies Both With Fresh Appetite.

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.
