Charles Caleb Colton

Unity of opinion is indeed a glorious and desirable thing, and its circle cannot be too strong and extended, if the centre be truth; but if the centre be error, the greater the circumference, the greater the evil.

No two things differ more than hurry and despatch. Hurry is the mark of a weak mind; despatch of a strong one.
