The More We Refine The Crude Elements In Our Nature, The More We Improve Our Humanity And The More Capable It Grows Of Feeling The Driving Force Of Virtuous Principles.

[aristotle Formal Logic Thus Far (1787)] Has Not Been Able To Advance A Single Step, And Hence Is To All Appearances Closed And Completed.

If Man Makes Himself A Worm He Must Not Complain When He Is Trodden On.

Act So That The Maxim Of Your Act Could Be Made The Principle Of A Universal Law.
