I Do Myself A Greater

One Man May Have Some Special Knowledge At First-hand About The Character Of A River Or A Spring, Who Otherwise Knows Only What Everyone Else Knows. Yet To Give Currency To This Shred Of Information, He Will Undertake To Write On The Whole Science Of Physics. From This Fault Many Great Troubles Spring.

The Virtue Of The Soul Does Not Consist In Flying High, But In Walking Orderly.

A Little Of Everything And Nothing Thoroughly, After The French Fashion.

I Quote Others Only In Order The Better To Express Myself.

I Am Myself The Matter Of My Book.
