Philosophy As Well As Foppery

In Reality, There Is, Perhaps, No One Of Our Natural Passions So Hard To Subdue As Pride. Disguise It, Struggle With It, Beat It Down, Stifle It, Mortify It As Much As One Pleases, It Is Still Alive, And Will Every Now And Then Peep Out And Show Itself; You Will See It, Perhaps, Often In This History; For, Even If I Could Conceive That I Had Completely Overcome It, I Should Probably Be Proud Of My Humility.

Who Has Deceived Thee As Oft As Thyself.

A Ship Under Sail And A Big-bellied Woman, Are The Handsomest Two Things That Can Be Seen Common.

If You Wouldn't Live Long, Live Well; For Folly And Wickedness Shorten Life.

The First Degree Of Folly, Is To Conceit One's Self Wise; The Second To Profess It; The Third To Despise Counsel.
