Blackstone or Civil Code
. Now From me you shall now receive
your first lesson lessons. Be patient – be attentive. Attach
your attention shall be rewarded have its reward: be patient, your patience
shall be rewarded.
Note in the first place the difference between
what is familiar, and what is clear. Few are the distinctions
more important than this. Preeminent is the importance
of this distinction. Whatsoever words are in familiar
use, the ordinary inference – nor that an unnatural
one is – that they are clearly understood. The reverse
is in a sad degree the truth. Few words are more
familiar than those which I am about to give you
the explanation: few are further from being generally and clearly
understood. Of this, the truth of in proportion as the explanation
advances, your own experience will inform you.
