A magistrate is not a father he must be just and severe. Only tyrants are fathers.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The division of labor, which has brought such perfection in mechanical industries, is altogether fatal when applied to productions of the mind. All work of the mind is superior in proportion as the mind that produces it is universal.
