There Is Nothing So Costly

New Constellations Of Truth Are Daily Discovered In The Firmament Of Knowledge, And New Stars Are Daily Shining Forth In Each Constellation.

Much That We Call Evil Is Really Good In Disguises; And We Should Not Quarrel Rashly With Adversities Not Yet Understood, Nor Overlook The Mercies Often Bound Up In Them.

The Object Of Punishment Is, Prevention From Evil; It Never Can Be Made Impulsive To Good.

If Temperance Prevails, Then Education Can Prevail; If Temperance Fails, Then Education Must Fail.

It Is Well, When The Wise And The Learned Discover New Truths; But How Much Better To Diffuse The Truths Already Discovered, Amongst The Multitude! Every Addition To True Knowledge Is An Addition To Human Power; And While A Philosopher Is Discovering One New Truth, Millions May Be Propagated Amongst The People. Diffusion, Then, Rather Than Discovery, Is The Duty Of Our Government.
