The more experiments you make the better. The only way to have a friend is to be one. Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path. When Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it. The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.
To fill the hour that is happiness. Every hero becomes a bore at last. Hitch your wagon to a star. A plant whose virtues have not been discovered. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesman and philosophers and divines.
