Society Is Frivolous, And Shreds Its Day

People Who Wash Much Have A High Mind About It, And Talk Down To Those Who Wash Little.

The Good Judge Is Not He Who Does Hair-splitting Justice To Every Allegation, But Who, Aiming At Substantial Justice, Rules Something Intelligible Of The Guidance Of Suitors.

Taking To Pieces Is The Trade Of Those Who Cannot Construct.

Society Never Advances. It Recedes As Fast On One Side As It Gains On The Other. It Undergoes Continual Changes: It Is Barbarous, It Is Civilized, It Is Rich, It Is Scientific; But This Change Is Not Amelioration. For Every Thing That Is Given, Something Else Is Taken. Society Acquires New Arts And Loses Old Instincts.

Thought Makes Everything Fit For Use.
