The Accent Of A Man's

Some Crimes Get Honor And Renown By Being Committed With More Pomp, By A Greater Number, And In A Higher Degree Of Wickedness Thanothers. Hence It Is That Public Robberies, Plunderings, And Sackings Have Been Looked Upon As Excellencies And Noble Achievements, And The Seizing Of Whole Countries, However Unjustly And Barbarously, Is Dignified With The Glorious Name Of Gaining Conquests.

We Do Not Like To Praise, And Seldom Praise Anyone Without Self-interest.

The Defects Of The Mind, Like Those Of The Face, Grow Worse With Age.

Our Wisdom Lies As Much At The Mercy Of Fortune As Our Possessions Do.

It Is Often Laziness And Timidity That Keep Us Within Our Duty While Virtue Gets All The Credit.
