Sivu 240 - Yet It is a very plain and elementary truth, that the life, the fortune, and the happiness of every one of us, and, more or less, of those who are connected with us, do depend upon our knowing something of the rules of a game infinitely more difficult and complicated than Chess.

Sivu 8 - Nobody is made any thing by hearing of rules, or laying them up in his memory : practice must settle the habit of doing, without reflecting on the rule ; and you may as well hope to make a good painter or musician extempore, by a lecture and instruction in the arts of music and painting, as a coherent thinker, or a strict reasoner., by a set of rules, showing him wherein right reasoning consists.
