As The Interest Of Man,

All Belief That Does Not Make Us More Happy, More Free, More Loving, More Active, More Calm, Is, I Fear, A Mistaken And Superstitious Belief.

Three Things Characterize Man: Person, Fate, Merit--the Harmony Of These Constitutes Real Grandeur.

Neither Refinement Nor Delicacy Is Indispensable To Produce Elegance.

Where There Is Much Pretension, Much Has Been Borrowed; Nature Never Pretends.

He Who Prorogues The Honesty Of Today Till To-morrow Will Probably Prorogue His To-morrows To Eternity.
