Nature and truth are the same every where, and reason shows thein
every where alike. But the accidents and other causes, which give rise
and growth to opinions both in speculation and practice, are of infinite
variety.- Bolingbroke on the true Use of Retirement and Study.

Reverere conditores Deos, numina Deorum. Reverere gloriam veterem,
et hanc ipsam senectutem quæ in homine venerabilis, in orbibus sacra
tst. Sit apud te honor antiquitati, sit ingentibus faeti, sit fabulis quoque,
nihil ex cujusquam dignitate, nibil ex libertate, nihil etiam ex jactatione
decerpseris.-- Plinius Maximo Suo S.
