On a farm the best fertilizer is the master's eye.

Nulla dies sine linea - Not a day without a line.

Human nature is fond of novelty.

The only thing man knows instinctively is how to weep.

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 neglect those things which are under our very eyes, and heedless of things within our grasp, pursue those which are afar off.

We listen with deep interest to what we hear, for to man novelty is ever charming.
