As A Philosopher, I Have A Right

Vicious Habits Are So Great A Stain To Human Nature, And So Odious In Themselves, That Every Person Actuated By Right Reason Would Avoid Them, Though He Were Sure They Would Be Always Concealed Both From God And Man, And Had No Future Punishment Entailed Upon Them.

Time Puts An End To Speculation In Opinions, And Confirms The Laws Of Nature.

To Be Endowed With Strength By Nature, To Be Actuated By The Powers Of The Mind, And To Have A Certain Spirit Almost Divine Infused Into You.

There Is Nothing Proper About What You Are Doing, Soldier, But Do Try To Kill Me Properly.

Should This My Firm Persuasion Of The Soul's Immortality Prove To Be A Mere Delusion, It Is At Least A Pleasing Delusion, And I Will Cherish It To My Last Breath.
