The Archer Who Overshoots His Mark Does

I Seek In The Reading Of Books, Only To Please Myself, By An Honest Diversion.

Laws Gain Their Authority From Actual Possession And Custom: It Is Perilous To Go Back To Their Origins; Laws, Like Our Rivers, Get Greater And Nobler As They Roll Along: Follow Them Back Upstream To Their Sources And All You Find Is A Tiny Spring, Hardly Recognizable; As Time Goes By It Swells With Pride And Grows In Strength.

Thus We Should Beware Of Clinging To Vulgar Opinions, And Judge Things By Reason's Way, Not By Popular Say.

No Man Profiteth But By The Loss Of Others.

It Is In The Enjoyment And Not In Mere Possession That Makes For Happiness.
