Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.

If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; If you would know, and not be known, live in a city.

It is always safe to learn, even from our enemies, seldom safe to venture to instruct, even our friends.
