“Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.” — Edward Gibbon Quote

Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.

The laws of probability, so true in general, so fallacious in particular.

I must reluctantly observe that two causes, the abbreviation of time, and the failure of hope, will always tinge with a browner shade the evening of life.
