“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country.

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“The grand points in human nature are the same to-day they were a thousand years ago. The only variability in them is in expression, not in feature.”
