Men Despise Great Projects When They Do Not Feel Themselves Capable Of Great Successes.

The Art Of Pleasing Is The Art Of Deception.

Superficial Knowledge ... Is Hurtful To Those Who Possess True Genius; For It Necessarily Draws Them Away From Their Main Object, Wastes Their Industry Over Details And Subjects Foreign To Their Needs And Natural Talent, And Lastly Does Not Serve, As They Flatter Themselves, To Prove The Breadth Of Their Mind.
