"He presents me with what is always..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“One more fagot of these adamantine bandages is the new science of Statistics.”

“Meet your failure nobly, and it will not differ from success.”

“The young man reveres men of genius, because, to speak truly, they are more himself than he is.”

“If a piece requires some specific inflection, I'll record it. I take a lot of notes, and later categorize them, combining them alongside existing ideas, and eventually put a piece together.”

“When a new idea comes our way, we must put it on our mental scales and weigh it carefully before deciding its value.”

“We are the prisoners of ideas. They catch us up for moments into their heaven, and so fully engage us, that we take no thought forthe morrow, gaze like children, without an effort to make them our own.”

“There is a chasm between knowledge and ignorance which the arches of science can never span.”

“The wise man knows of all things, as far as possible, although he has no knowledge of each of them in detail”

“Between knowledge of what really exists and ignorance of what does not exist lies the domain of opinion. It is more obscure than knowledge, but clearer than ignorance.”
