Our Minds Are Like Our Stomaches; They

It Is Easier To Do Many Things Than To Do One Thing Continuously For A Long Time.

Those Who Wish To Appear Wise Among Fools, Among The Wise Seem Foolish.

One Thing, However, I Must Premise, That Without The Assistance Of Natural Capacity, Rules And Precepts Are Of No Efficacy.

Give Me The Boy Who Rouses When He Is Praised, Who Profits When He Is Encouraged And Who Cries When He Is Defeated. Such A Boy Will Be Fired By Ambition; He Will Be Stung By Reproach, And Animated By Preference; Never Shall I Apprehend Any Bad Consequences From Idleness In Such A Boy.

Ambition Is A Vice, But It May Be The Father Of Virtue.
