Exercise Is The Chief Source

As The Primary End Of History Is To Record Truth, Impartiality, Fidelity And Accuracy Are The Fundamental Qualities Of An Historian.

Nothing, Except What Flows From The Heart, Can Render Even External Manners Truly Pleasing.

What Ever Purifies The Heart Also Fortifies It.

True Gentleness Is Founded On A Sense Of What We Owe To Him Who Made Us And To The Common Nature Which We All Share. It Arises From Reflection On Our Own Failings And Wants, And From Just Views Of The Condition And Duty Of Man. It Is Native Feeling Heightened And Improved By Principle.

The Spirit Of True Religion Breathes Gentleness And Affability; It Gives A Native, Unaffected Ease To The Behavior; It Is Social, Kind, Cheerful; Far Removed From The Cloudy And Illiberal Disposition Which Clouds The Brow, Sharpens The Temper, And Dejects The Spirit.
