Every Man Who Has Power Is Impelled

What Orators Lack In Depth They Make Up For In Length.

The Love Of Study Is In Us The Only Lasting Passion. All The Others Quit Us In Proportion As This Miserable Machine Which Holds Them Approaches Its Ruins.

A Man Who Writes Well Writes Not As Others Write, But As He Himself Writes; It Is Often In Speaking Badly That He Speaks Well.

They Who Love To Inform Themselves, Are Never Idle. Though I Have No Business Of Consequence To Take Care Of, I Am Nevertheless Continually Employed. I Spend My Life In Examining Things: I Write Down In The Evening Whatever I Have Remarked, What I Have Seen, And What I Have Heard In The Day: Every Thing Engages My Attention, And Every Thing Excites My Wonder: I Am Like An Infant, Whose Organs, As Yet Tender, Are Strongly Affected By The Slightest Objects.

I Have Never Known Any Distress That An Hour's Reading Did Not Relieve.
