The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.

Heat is in proportion to the want of true knowledge

Titles of honor are like the impressions on coins, which add no value to gold or silver, but only render brass current.

The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.

People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.

The acquisition of knowledge need not be like listening to the Gregorian chant.
