Merriweather Lewis Quotes
I Viewed With Regret The Many Hours I Have Spent In Indolence, And Now Sorely Felt The Want Of That Information Which Those Hours Would Have Given Me Had They Been Judidiously Expended. But Since They Are Past And Cannot Be Recalled, I Dash From Me The Gloomy Thought, And Resolved In Future, To Redouble My Exertions And At Least Endeavor To Promote Those Two Primary Objects Of Human Existence, By Giving Them The Aid Of That Portion Of Talents Which Nature And Fortune Have Bestowed Upon Me; Or In Future, To Live For MANKIND, As I Have Hertofore Lived FOR MYSELF.
