All Nature Wears One Universal Grin.

For Nothing Can Be More Reasonable, Than That Slaves And Flatterers Should Exact The Same Taxes On All Below Them, Which They Themselves Pay To All Above Them.

Conscience Is A Judge In Every Man's Breast, Which None Can Cheat Or Corrupt, And Perhaps The Only Incorrupt Thing About Him; Yet, Inflexible And Honest As This Judge Is (however Polluted The Bench On Which He Sits), No Man Can, In My Opinion, Enjoy Any Applause Which Is Not There Adjudged To Be His Due.

As The Malicious Disposition Of Mankind Is Too Well Known, And The Cruel Pleasure Which They Take In Destroying The Reputation Of Others, The Use We Are To Make Of This Knowledge Is, To Afford No Handle For Reproach; For Bad As The World Is, It Seldom Falls On Anyone Who Hath Not Given Some Slight Cause For Censure.

It May Be Laid Down As A General Rule, That No Woman Who Hath Any Great Pretensions To Admiration Is Ever Well Pleased In A Company Where She Perceives Herself To Fill Only The Second Place.

There Is No Zeal Blinder Than That Which Is Inspired With A Love Of Justice Against Offenders.
