Where The People Are Well

We Have First Raised A Dust And Then Complain We Cannot See.

The Love Of Truth, Virtue, And The Happiness Of Mankind Are Specious Pretexts, But Not The Inward Principles That Set Divines At Work; Else Why Should They Affect To Abuse Human Reason, To Disparage Natural Religion, To Traduce The Philosophers As They Universally Do?

To Me It Seems That Liberty And Virtue Were Made For Each Other. If Any Man Wish To Enslave His Country, Nothing Is A Fitter Preparative Than Vice; And Nothing Leads To Vice So Surely As Irreligion.

I Had Rather Be An Oyster Than A Man, The Most Stupid And Senseless Of Animals.

Make A Point Never Go Clear, It Is Great Odds That A Man Whose Habits And The Bent Of Whose Mind Lie A Contrary Way, Shall Be Unable To Comprehend It. So Weak A Thing Is Reason In Competition With Inclination.
