Summary

This quote suggests that ideas and thoughts are dualistic in nature, forming a binary relationship. It compares this duality with the Roman god Janus, who symbolizes criticism and genius. Janus' dual faces represent the ability to evaluate and create. However, the quote concludes that only God possesses a triangular nature, implying that divine entities or forces encompass a higher level of complexity that goes beyond the binary and encompasses a trinity of concepts or attributes.

The desire of advising has a very extensive prevalence; and, since advice cannot be given but to those that will hear it, a patient listener is necessary to the accommodation of all those who desire to be confirmed in the opinion of their own wisdom: a patient listener, however, is not always to be had; the present age, whatever age is present, is so vitiated and disordered, that young people are readier to talk than to attend, and good counsel is only thrown away upon those who are full of their own perfections.
