Idleness Is Only The Refuge

Speak Of The Moderns Without Contempt And Of The Ancients Without Idolatry; Judge Them All By Their Merits, But Not By Their Age

The Insolent Civility Of A Proud Man Is, If Possible, More Shocking Than His Rudeness Could Be; Because He Shows You, By His Manner, That He Thinks It Mere Condescension In Him; And That His Goodness Alone Bestows Upon You What You Have No Pretense To Claim.

The Heart Has Such An Influence Over The Understanding, That It Is Worth While To Engage It In Our Interest.

Let Them Show Me A Cottage Where There Are Not The Same Vices Of Which They Accuse The Courts.

Gratitude Is A Burden Upon Our Imperfect Nature.
