The law is a gun, which if it misses a pigeon always kills a crow; if it
does not strike the guilty it hits some one else. As every crime creates
a law, so in turn every law creates a crime.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
~Learning.~--It adds a precious seeing to the eye.--_Shakespeare._
You are to consider that learning is of great use to society; and though
it may not add to the stock, it is a necessary vehicle to transmit it to
others. Learned men are the cisterns of knowledge, not the
fountain-heads.--_James Northcote._
