The Body Is At Its Best Between

Knowledge Of The Fact Differs From Knowledge Of The Reason For The Fact.

Man Is By Nature A Social Animal; An Individual Who Is Unsocial Naturally And Not Accidentally Is Either Beneath Our Notice Or More Than Human. Society Is Something That Precedes The Individual.

Not To Get What You Have Set Your Heart On Is Almost As Bad As Getting Nothing At All.
