Laughter Is Nothing Else But Sudden Glory

Man Is Distinguished Not Only By His Reason, But Also By This Singular Passion, From All Other Animals.

If This Superstitious Fear Of Spirits Were Taken Away, And With It, Prognostiques From Dreams, False Prophecies, And Many Other Things Depending Thereon, By Which, Crafty Ambitious Persons Abuse The Simple People, Men Would Be Much More Fitted Then They Are For Civill Obedience.

Such Truth, As Opposeth No Man's Profit, Nor Pleasure, Is To All Men Welcome.

Nature Hath Made Men So Equal In The Faculties Of Body And Mind, As That Though There Be Found One Man Sometimes Manifestly Stronger In Body, Or Of Quicker Mind Than Another, Yet When All Is Reckoned Together, The Difference Between Man And Man Is Not So Considerable As That One Man Can Thereupon Claim To Himself Any Benefit To Which Another May Not Pretend As Well As He.

The Power Of A Man Is His Present Means To Obtain Some Future Apparent Good.
