Mankind Cannot Get On Without A Certain

Men Need Some Kind Of External Activity, Because They Are Inactive Within.

Reason Is Feminine In Nature; It Can Only Give After It Has Received.

The Mother Of Useful Arts Is Necessity; That Of The Fine Arts Is Luxury. For Father The Former Has Intellect; The Latter Genius, Which Itself Is A Kind Of Luxury.

Friends And Acquaintances Are The Surest Passport To Fortune.

It Takes Place, By And Large, With The Same Sort Of Necessity As A Tree Brings Forth Fruit, And Demands Of The World No More Than A Soil On Which The Individual Can Flourish.
