The Value or WORTH of a man, is as of all other things, his Price; that is to say, so much as would be given for the use of his Power...

The Register of Knowledge of Fact is called History.

The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, prophane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame, or blame...

When two, or more men, know of one and the same fact, they are said to be CONSCIOUS of it one to another; which is as much as to know it together.

Of all Discourse, governed by desire of Knowledge, there is at last an End, either by attaining, or by giving over.

And Beasts that have Deliberation, must necessarily also have Will.

Sudden Glory, is the passion which maketh those Grimaces called LAUGHTER.

Desire, to know why, and how, CURIOSITY; such as is in no living creature but Man; so that Man is distinguished, not only by his Reason; but also by this singular Passion from other Animals; in whom the appetite of food, and other pleasures of Sense, by predominance, take away the care of knowing causes; which is a Lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of Knowledge, exceedeth the short vehemence of any carnal Pleasure.

The same, without such opinion, DESPAIRE.

For Appetite with an opinion of attaining, is called HOPE.
