Man is a shrewd inventor, and is ever taking the hint of a new machine from his own structure, adapting some secret of his own anatomy in iron, wood, and leather, to some required function in the work of the world.
The measure of a great leader, is their success in bringing everyone around to their opinion twenty years later.
He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind he has descended into the secrets of all minds.
Stay at home in your mind. Don't recite other people's opinions. I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
