What Gunpowder Did For War The Printing

Society,--the Only Field Where The Sexes Have Ever Met On Terms Of Equality, The Arena Where Character Is Formed And Studied, The Cradle And The Realm Of Public Opinion, The Crucible Of Ideas, The World's University, At Once A School And A Theater, The Spur And The Crown Of Ambition, The Tribunal Which Unmasks Pretension And Stamps Real Merit, The Power That Gives Government Leave To Be, And Outruns The Lazy Church In Fixing The Moral Sense Of The Eye.

Politicians Are Like The Bones Of A Horse's Foreshoulder-not A Straight One In It.

Aristocracy Is Always Cruel.

What Gunpowder Did For War, The Printing-press Has Done For The Mind; And The Statesman Is No Longer Clad In The Steel Of Special Education, But Every Reading Man Is His Judge.

Experience Is A Safe Light To Walk By, And He Is Not A Rash Man Who Expects To Succeed In Future From The Same Means Which Have Secured It In Times Past.
