[Quote No.16583] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"God did not rest after the six days of creation. He is still continuously at work, as on the first day. Surely it wouldn't have been much fun for Him to build this lumbering world out of simple elements and let it roll about in the sunshine year in, year out, if He hadn't had a plan to build a training ground for higher spirits. And so He is continually at work in great geniuses, so as to pull the common people up." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

[Quote No.16585] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort, which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

"The present state of things is the consequence of the past; and it is natural to inquire as to the sources of the good we enjoy or the evils we suffer.

"There is no part of history so generally useful as that which relates to the progress of the human mind, the gradual improvement of reason, the successive advances of science, the vicissitudes of learning and ignorance, the extinction and resuscitation of arts, and the revolutions of the intellectual world. If accounts of battles and invasions are peculiarly the business of princes, the useful and elegant arts are not to be neglected, and those who have kingdoms to govern have understandings to cultivate." - Francis Johnson
