[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember …] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.

Whatever we owe, it is our part to find where to pay it, and to do it without asking, too; for whether the creditor be good or bad, the debt is still the same.
A large library is apt to distract rather than to instruct the learner; it is much better to be confined to a few authors than to wander at random over many.
