Nature and truth are the same everywhere, and reason shows them everywhere alike. But the
accidents and other causes which give rise and growth to opinions, both in speculation and prac
tice, are of infinite variety.-Bolingbroke on the true Use of Retirement and Study.
Reverere conditores Deos, numina Deorum. Reverere gloriam veterem, et hanc ipsam senectu
tem quae in homine venerabilis, in urbibus sacra est. Sit apud te honor antiquati, sit ingentibus
facti, sit fabulis quoque, nihil ex cujusquam dignitate, nihil ex libertate, nihil etiam ex jactatione
decerpseris.-Plinius Maximo Teus S.
