Nothing, Except What Flows From

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

To Exult Over The Miseries Of An Unhappy Creature Is Inhuman.

Nothing Leads More Directly To The Breach Of Charity, And To The Injury And Molestation Of Our Fellow-creatures, Than The Indulgence Of An Ill Temper.

It Is Pride Which Fills The World With So Much Harshness And Severity. We Are Rigorous To Offenses As If We Had Never Offended.

Gentleness Corrects Whatever Is Offensive In Our Manner.
