Certain Faults Are Necessary To The Individual

But One Must Know Where One Stands, And Where The Others Wish To Go.

If Nature Is Your Teacher, Your Soul Will Awaken.

Thou Tremblest Before Anticipated Ills, And Still Bemoanest What Thou Never Losest.

It Seems To Me That Every Phenomenon, Every Fact, Itself Is The Really Interesting Object. Whoever Explains It, Or Connects It With Other Events, Usually Only Amuses Himself Or Makes Sport Of Us, As, For Instance, The Naturalist Or Historian. But A Single Action Or Event Is Interesting, Not Because It Is Explainable, But Because It Is True.

There Is Nothing Worth Thinking But It Has Been Thought Before; We Must Only Try To Think It Again.
