In Every Man There Is Something Of

I Ceased In The Year 1764 To Believe That One Can Convince One’s Opponents With Arguments Printed In Books. It Is Not To Do That, Therefore, That I Have Taken Up My Pen, But Merely So As To Annoy Them, And To Bestow Strength And Courage On Those On Our Own Side, And To Make It Known To The Others That They Have Not Convinced Us.

Every Condition Of The Soul Has Its Own Sign And Expression...so You Will See How Hard It Is To Seem Original Without Being So.

As I Take Up My Pen I Feel Myself So Full, So Equal To My Subject, And See My Book So Clearly Before Me In Embryo, I Would Almost Like To Try To Say It All In A Single Word.

If You Are Going To Build Something In The Air It Is Always Better To Build Castles Than Houses Of Cards.

It Is Too Bad If You Have To Do Everything Upon Reflection And Can't Do Anything From Early Habit.
