We Term Sleep A Death

There Is No Royal Road Or Ready Way To Virtue.

As For Those Wingy Mysteries In Divinity, And Airy Subtleties In Religion, Which Have Unhinged The Brains Of Better Heads, They Never Stretched The Pia Mater Of Mine; Methinks There Be Not Impossibilities Enough In Religion For An Active Faith.

Half Our Days We Pass In The Shadow Of The Earth; And The Brother Of Death Exacteth A Third Part Of Our Lives.

Natura Nihil Agit Frustra [nature Does Nothing In Vain] Is The Only Indisputible Axiom In Philosophy. There Are No Grotesques In Nature; Not Any Thing Framed To Fill Up Empty Cantons, And Unncecessary Spaces.

Be Thou What Thou Singly Art And Personate Only Thyself. Swim Smoothly In The Stream Of Thy Nature And Live But One Man.
