We Go By The Major

It Is Well, When The Wise And The Learned Discover New Truths; But How Much Better To Diffuse The Truths Already Discovered, Amongst The Multitude! Every Addition To True Knowledge Is An Addition To Human Power; And While A Philosopher Is Discovering One New Truth, Millions May Be Propagated Amongst The People. Diffusion, Then, Rather Than Discovery, Is The Duty Of Our Government.

Seek Not Greatness, But Seek Truth And You Will Find Both.

We Conceive Of Immortality As Having A Beginning, But No End; But We Conceive Of Eternity As Having Neither Beginning Nor End. Hence It Is Proper To Speak Of Eternity As The Attribute Of God, But Of Immortality As The Attribute Of Man.

One Thing I Certainly Never Was Made For, And That Is To Put Principles On And Off At The Dictation Of A Party, As A Lackey Changes His Livery At His Master's Command.
