Summary

This quote emphasizes that no matter how skilled or inventive one may be, the quality of imagination is irreplaceable. It suggests that imagination is the crucial ingredient that adds depth and creativity to any skill or invention. Without imagination, even the most skillful person will fall short in creating something truly exceptional or ground-breaking. Imagination acts as a catalyst, allowing individuals to think beyond the limits, explore new possibilities, and bring fresh perspectives to their work, ultimately leading to innovation and originality that cannot be replicated solely by technical prowess.

I'm delirious with joy. It proves that if you confront the universe with good intentions in your heart, it will reflect that and reward your intent. Usually. It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.

It is inherent in the nature of sovereignty not to be amenable to the suit of any individual without its consent. This is the general sense and the general practice of mankind; and the exemption, as one of the attributes of sovereignty, is now enjoyed by the government of every State in the Union. . . . The contracts between a nation and individuals are only binding on the conscience of the sovereign, and have no pretensions to a compulsory force. They confer no right of action, independent of the sovereign will. To...authorize suits against States for the debts they owe...could not be done without waging war against the contracting State..., a power which would involve such a consequence, would be altogether forced and unwarranted.
