The Brave Person Thinks Of Himself Last

Opposition Always Inflames The Enthusiast, Never Converts Him.

To One, Science Is An Exalted Goddess; To Another It Is A Cow Which Provides Him With Butter.

The Present Age Has Witnessed An Extraordinary Increase Of A Thinking Public, By The Facilities Afforded To The Diffusion Of Reading; The Former Happy Resignation To Ignorance Begins To Make Way For A State Of Half-enlightenment, And Few Persons Are Willing To Remain In The Condition In Which Their Birth Has Placed Then.

Who Dares Nothing, Need Hope For Nothing.

It May Here Be Justly Said, That Genuine Morality Is Preserved Only In The School Of Adversity, And A State Of Continuous Prosperity May Easily Prove A Quicksand To Virtue.
