With an instrument thus fit or fitted for any thing and
for every thing we need not fear incurring the
censure of common place and unmeaning adage prudence
so required means nothing too much.
Imprudence Prudence consists in the richness of our reasoning
not in the purity of our views.
Imprudence not in genius ingenuity nor in industry
nor is benevolence — nor in the means any combination of all these
qualities but in the want inadequacy of the means
means to ends employd therein to the ends
Systems have approved exhibiting Want Indigence
without Relief — The Ends without means Donation without funds —- Production
without Vent - Profusion without Bounds
— in which the axe is laid to the root of
Industry — of systems like these These are the
systems that if they did any thing would do
too much — for when nothing good is so much
as attempted, every thing that is attempted is
too much.
