The happier the moment the shorter.
As land is improved by sowing it with various seeds, so is the mind by exercising it with different studies.
Human nature is fond of novelty.
There is alas no law against incompetency; no striking example is made. They learn by our bodily jeopardy and make experiments until the death of the patients, and the doctor is the only person not punished for murder.
We listen with deep interest to what we hear, for to man novelty is ever charming.
Nature has given man no better thing than shortness of life.
