Miscellanea

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Adam Smith on Watches

But the person so nice with regard to this machine, will not always be found either more scrupulously punctual than other men, or more anxiously concerned upon any other account, to know precisely what time of day it is. What interests him is not so much the attainment of this piece of knowledge, as the perfection of the machine which serves to attain it.

Adam Smith
