Speculation, knowledge, is not the chief end of man; it is action. (Burnap)
The two most engaging powers of an author: new things are made familiar, and familiar things are made new. (Johnson)
Legal scholarship, in whatever form, must have as its object influencing the direction of the law—ideally by moving judges, lawyers, legislators, and bureaucrats to rethink or reconsider a particular problem. (Krotoszynski, 1999)
Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning. (Stravinsky)
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself; because only through ordering what you know by comparing every truth with every other truth can you take complete possession of your knowledge and get it into your power. (Schopenhauer)
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give lustre, and many more people see than weigh. (Herodotus)
