| Quote of the moment |
| The ancients of the ideal description, instead of trying to turn their impracticable chimeras, as does the modern dreamer, into social and political prodigies, deposited them in great works of art, which still live while states and constitutions have perished, bequeathing to posterity not shameful defects but triumphant successes. |

| Are twelve wise men more wise than one? or will twelve fools, put together, make one sage? Are twelve honest men more honest than one? |
