Wisdom Is Not Only To Be Acquired,

No Sensible Man Ever Imputes Inconsistency To Another For Changing His Minds.

Art Is Born Of The Observation And Investigation Of Nature.

All Action Is Of The Mind And The Mirror Of The Mind Is The Face, Its Index The Eyes.

I Depart From Life As From An Inn, And Not As From My Home. [lat., Ex Vita Discedo, Tanquam Ex Hospitio, Non Tanquam Ex Domo.]

The Impulse Which Directs To Right Conduct, And Deters From Crime, Is Not Only Older Than The Ages Of Nations And Cities, But Coeval With That Divine Being Who Sees And Rules Both Heaven And Earth.
