Presumption First Blinds A Man, Then Sets

My Dear Friend, Do Not Imagine That I Am Vain Enough To Ascribe Our Success [revolution] To Any Superiority . . . If It Had Not Been For The Justice Of Our Cause, And The Consequent Interposition Of Providence, In Which We Had Faith, We Must Have Been Ruined. If I Had Ever Before Been An Atheist, I Should Now Have Been Convinced Of The Being And Government Of A Deity!

Human Happiness Comes Not From Infrequent Pieces Of Good Fortune, But From The Small Improvements To Daily Life.

To The Generous Mind The Heaviest Debt Is That Of Gratitude, When It Is Not In Our Power To Repay It.

What Is Without Us Has No Connection With Happiness, Only So Far As The Preservation Of Our Lives And Health Depends Upon It. . . . Happiness Springs Immediately From The Mind.

If You Have No Honey In Your Pot, Have Some In Your Mouth.
