“A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass”

“Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there”

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”

“Choose the life that is most useful and habit will make it the most agreeable”

“If I’d listened to my consumers, I’d have given them a faster horse”

“To prejudge other men's notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eye”
