Men Would Not Live In Society Long

Spiritual Health Is No More Stable Than Bodily; And Though We May Seem Unaffected By The Passions We Are Just As Liable To Be Carried Away By Them As To Fall Ill When In Good Health.

Though Nature Be Ever So Generous, Yet Can She Not Make A Hero Alone. Fortune Must Contribute Her Part Too; And Till Both Concur, The Work Cannot Be Perfected.

The Man Whom No One Pleases Is Much More Unhappy Than The Man Who Pleases No One.

A Readiness To Believe Ill Of Others, Before We Have Duly Examined It, Is The Effect Of Laziness And Pride. We Are Eager To Find Aculprit, And Loath To Give Ourselves The Trouble Of Examining The Crime.

The Happiness And Unhappiness Of Men Depends As Much On Their Ethics As On Fortune.
