Never Trust The Man Who Has Reason

Scarcely One Person In A Thousand Is Capable Of Tasting The Happiness Of Others.

Though We May Sometimes Unintentionally Bestow Our Beneficence On The Unworthy, It Does Not Take From The Merit Of The Act. For Charity Doth Not Adopt The Vices Of Its Objects.

There Are Persons Of That General Philanthropy And Easy Tempers, Which The World In Contempt Generally Calls Good-natured, Who Seem To Be Sent Into The World With The Same Design With Which Men Put Little Fish Into A Pike Pond, In Order Only To Be Devoured By That Voracious Water-hero.

There Is A Sort Of Knowledge Beyond The Power Of Learning To Bestow, And This Is To Be Had In Conversation; So Necessary Is This To The Understanding The Characters Of Men, That None Are More Ignorant Of Them Than Those Learned Pedants Whose Lives Have Been Entirely Consumed In Colleges And Among Books; For However Exquisitely Human Nature May Have Been Described By Writers The True Practical System Can Be Learned Only In The World.

The Woman And The Soldier Who Do Not Defend The First Pass Will Never Defend The Last.
