Scarce Any Man Becomes Eminently Disagreeable But

It Is More From Carelessness About Truth Than From Intentionally Lying That There Is So Much Falsehood In The World.

Little Would Be Wanting To The Happiness Of Life, If Every Man Could Conform To The Right As Soon As He Was Shown It.

It Matters Not How A Man Dies, But How He Lives.

It Is Justly Considered As The Greatest Excellency Of Art To Imitate Nature; But It Is Necessary To Distinguish Those Parts Of Nature Which Are Most Proper For Imitation: Greater Care Is Still Required In Representing Life, Which Is So Often Discoloured By Passion Or Deformed By Wickedness. If The World Be Promiscuously Described, I Cannot See Of What Use It Can Be To Read The Account; Or Why It May Not Be As Safe To Turn The Eye Immediately Upon Mankind, As Upon A Mirror Which Shows All That Presents Itself Without Discrimination.

Gratitude Is A Fruit Of Great Cultivation; You Do Not Find It Among Gross People.
