Much music marreth men's manners.
Galen, in the third section of his book, "The Use of the Limbs," says correctly that it would be in vain to expect to see living beings formed of the blood of menstruous women and the semen virile, who will not die, will never feel pain, or will move perpetually, or shine like the sun. This dictum of Galen is part of the following more general proposition:—Whatever is formed of matter receives the most perfect form possible in that species of matter; in each individual case the defects are in accordance with that individual matter.
The best physician is also a philosopher.
That which is, grows, while that which is not, becomes.
The fact is that those who are enslaved to their sects are not merely devoid of all sound knowledge, but they will not even stop to learn!
