“The course of a great statesman resembles that of navigable rivers, avoiding immovable obstacles with noble bends of concession, seeking the broad levels of opinion on which men soonest settle and longest dwell, following and marking the almost imperceptible slopes of national tendency, yet always aiming at direct advances, always recruited from sources nearer heaven, and sometimes bursting open paths of progress and fruitful human commerce through what seem the eternal barriers of both.” MenHumansSometimesSeemsCoursesHeavenLevelsOpinionPathProgressSourceEternalRiversDirectSeekingFollowingObstaclesNobleTendenciesSettlingBarriersBroadsCommerceAvoidingStatesmenSlopesBurstingConcessions Book:My Study Windows Source: My Study Windows
“Harvey sought for truth in Truth's own book- Creation - which by God himself was writ;And wisely thought 'twas fitNot to read comments only upon it,But on th' original itself to look.Methinks in Art's great circle others standLock'd up together hand in hand:Every one leads as he is led,The same bare path they tread,A dance like that of Fairies, a fantastic round,With neither change of motion nor of ground.Had Harvey to this road confined his wit,His noble circle of the blood had been untrodden yet.” LooksArtBookHandsTogetherPathBloodCreationOriginalsRoundsNobleWitCirclesFantasticFairyCommentConfinedHand In HandHarvey Author:William Harvey

“If we had nothing but pecuniary rewards and worldly honours to look to, our profession would not be one to be desired. But in its practice you will find it to be attended with peculiar privileges, second to none in intense interest and pure pleasures. It is our proud office to tend the fleshly tabernacle of the immortal spirit, and our path, rightly followed, will be guided by unfettered truth and love unfeigned. In the pursuit of this noble and holy calling I wish you all God-speed.” IfsLooksScienceSpiritWishInterestPleasurePracticePathProudHolyCallingPureAnd LoveRewardsPrivilegeSpeedNobleProfessionPursuitIntenseImmortalHonourPeculiarWorldlyWish YouTruth And Love Author:Joseph Lister
