“Do not hover always on the surface of things, nor take up suddenly with mere appearances; but penetrate into the depth of matters, as far as your time and circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate to your profession.”

“‘Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, you have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.”

“Learning to trust is one of life’s most difficult tasks.”

“Acquaint yourself with your own ignorance.”
