His Scorn Of The Great

It Is Commonly A Weak Man Who Marries For Love.

Men Have Been Wise In Many Different Modes; But They Have Always Laughed The Same Way.

Pleasure Itself Is Not A Vice

Praise, Like Gold And Diamonds, Owes Its Value Only To Its Scarcity. It Becomes Cheap As It Becomes Vulgar, And Will No Longer Raise Expectation Or Animate Enterprise.

Whoever Desires, For His Writings Or Himself, What None Can Reasonably Contemn, The Favour Of Mankind, Must Add Grace To Strength, And Make His Thoughts Agreeable As Well As Useful. Many Complain Of Neglect Who Never Tried To Attract Regard.
