If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or
can make better chairs read more

If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or
can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs,
than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his
house, tho it be in the woods. And if a man knows the law,
people will find it out, tho he live in a pine shanty, and resort
to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the
prisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint landscape, and convey
into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or
can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious
songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept:
the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and
tens and fifties to his door.

I am giving you examples of the fact that this creature man, who
in his own selfish affairs is a coward to the backbone, will
fight for an idea like a hero. . . . I tell you, gentlemen, if
you can shew a man a piece of what he now calls God's work to do,
and what he will later call by many new names, you can make him
entirely reckless of the consequences to himself personally.

Yet the success of plans and the advantage to be derived from
them do not at all times agree, read more

Yet the success of plans and the advantage to be derived from
them do not at all times agree, seeing the gods claim to
themselves the right to decide as to the final result.
[Lat., Tametsi prosperitas simul utilitasque consultorum non
obique concordent, quoniam captorum eventus superae sibi
vindicant potestates.]
