Those Only Deserve A Monument Who Do

The True Barbarian Is He Who Thinks Everything Barbarous But His Own Tastes And Prejudices.

He Who Expects From A Great Name In Politics, In Philosophy, In Art, Equal Greatness In Other Things, Is Little Versed In Human Nature. Our Strength Lies In Our Weakness. The Learned In Books Are Ignorant Of The World. He Who Is Ignorant Of Books Is Often Well Acquainted With Other Things; For Life Is Of The Same Length In The Learned And Unlearned; The Mind Cannot Be Idle; If It Is Not Taken Up With One Thing, It Attends To Another Through Choice Or Necessity; And The Degree Of Previous Capacity In One Class Or Another Is A Mere Lottery.

Truth From The Mouth Of An Honest Man And Severity From A Good-natured Man Have A Double Effect.

Our Contempt For Others Proves Nothing But The Illiberality And Narrowness Of Our Own Views.

If Our Hours Were All Serene, We Might Probably Take Almost As Little Note Of Them As The Dial Does Of Those That Are Clouded.
