There Can Be No Friendship

Knowledge Is The Treasure Of A Wise Man.

It Is A Cruel Folly To Offer Up To Ostentation So Many Lives Of Creatures, As To Make Up The State Of Our Treats.

We Are Apt To Love Praise, But Not Deserve It. But If We Would Deserve It, We Must Love Virtue More Than That.

Many Able Gardeners And Husbandmen Are Yet Ignorant Of The Reason Of Their Calling; As Most Artificers Are Of The Reason Of Their Own Rules That Govern Their Excellent Workmanship. But A Naturalist And Mechanick Of This Sort Is Master Of The Reason Of Both, And Might Be Of The Practice Too, If His Industry Kept Pace With His Speculation; Which Were Every Commendable; And Without Which He Cannot Be Said To Be A Complete Naturalist Or Mechanick.

The Wisdom Of Nations Lies In Their Proverbs, Which Are Brief And Pithy.
