Richard Brinsley Sheridan


When of a gossiping circle it was asked, "What are they doing?" The answer was, "Swapping lies."

Adam Smith


The difference of natural talents in different men is, in reality, much less than we are aware of; and the very different genius which appears to distinguish men of different professions, when grown up to maturity, is not upon many occasions so much the cause as the effect of the division of labour.
