Hypocrisy Is A Fashionable Vice, And All

Birth Means Nothing Where There Is No Virtue.

No One Is Safe From Slander. The Best Way Is To Pay No Attention To It, But Live In Innocence And Let The World Talk.

There's Nothing People Can't Contrive To Praise Or Condemn And Find Justification For Doing So, According To Their Age And Their Inclinations.

You Have But To Hold Forth In Cap And Gown, And Any Gibberish Becomes Learning, All Nonsense Passes For Sense.

There Is No Reward So Delightful, No Pleasure So Exquisite, As Having One's Work Known And Acclaimed By Those Whose Applause Confers Honor.
