My Art And Profession Is To Live.

Learning Is Not To Be Tacked To The Mind, But We Must Fuse And Blend Them Together, Not Merely Giving The Mind A Slight Tincture, But A Thorough And Perfect Dye. And If We Perceive No Evident Change And Improvement, It Would Be Better To Leave It Alone; Learning Is A Dangerous Weapon, And Apt To Wound Its Master If It Be Wielded By A Feeble Hand, And By One Not Well Acquainted With Its Use.

In Plain Truth, It Is No Want, But Rather Abundance That Creates Avarice.

Whatever Is Enforced By Command Is More Imputed To Him Who Exacts Than To Him Who Performs.

The Great And Glorious Masterpiece Of Men Is To Live To The Point. All Other Things-to Reign, To Hoard, To Build-are, At Most, But Inconsiderable Props And Appendages.

We Are Nearer Neighbours To Ourselves Than Whiteness To Snow, Or Weight To Stones.
