There is no short-cut no patent tram-road, to wisdom. after all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of old time.

There Is No Short-cut No Patent Tram-road,

More From George Eliot

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl

White in the moon the long road lies, the moon stands blank above; white in the moon the long road lies that leads me from my love. still hangs the hedge without a gust, still, still the shadows stay: my feet upon the moonlit dust pursue the ceaseless way. the world is round, so travellers tell, and straight through reach the track, trudge on, trudge on, 'twill all be well, the way will guide one back. but ere the circle homeward hies far, far must it remove: white in the moon the long road lies that leads me from my love.
Lying Moon Feet
Life is complex. each one of us must make his own path through life. there are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. the right road for one is the wrong road for another...the journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. it is a rocky path through the wilderness.

Next came the patent laws. these began in england in 1624; and, in this country, with the adoption of our constitution. before then [these?], any man might instantly use what another had invented; so that the inventor had no special advantage from his own invention. the patent system changed this; secured to the inventor, for a limited time, the exclusive use of his invention; and thereby added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius, in the discovery and production of new and useful things.
