Wish Not So Much To

Virtue May Not Always Make A Face Handsome, But Vice Will Certainly Make It Ugly.

What Signifies Philosophy That Does Not Apply To Some Use? May We Not Learn From Hence, That Black Clothes Are Not So Fit To Wear In A Hot Sunny Climate Or Season, As White Ones; Because In Such Cloaths The Body Is More Heated By The Sun When We Walk Abroad, And Are At The Same Time Heated By The Exercise, Which Double Heat Is Apt To Bring On Putrid Dangerous Fevers? The Soldiers And Seamen, Who Must March And Labour In The Sun, Should In The East Or West Indies Have An Uniform Of White?

We Are More Heavily Taxed By Our Idleness, Pride And Folly Than We Are Taxed By Government.

Our Necessities Never Equal Our Wants.

There Is Nothing So Absurd As Knowledge Spun Too Fine.
