"A greater Quantity of some things may be eaten than of others, some being of lighter Digestion than others."

Previous Quote

At present, man applies to nature but half his force. He works on the world with his understanding alone. He lives in it, and masters it by a penny-wisdom; and he that works most in it, is but a half-man, and whilst his arms are strong and his digestion good, his mind is imbruted, and he is a selfish savage.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
