The Happiness And Unhappiness Of Men Depends

It May Be Said That The Vices Await Us In The Journey Of Life Like Hosts With Whom We Must Successively Lodge; And I Doubt Whether Experience Would Make Us Avoid Them If We Were To Travel The Same Road A Second Time.

However Evil Men May Be They Dare Not Be Openly Hostile To Virtue, And So When They Want To Attack It They Pretend To Find It Spurious , Or Impute Crimes To It.

Before Strongly Desiring Anything, We Should Look Carefully Into The Happiness Of Its Present Owner.

In The Human Heart One Generation Of Passions Follows Another; From The Ashes Of One Springs The Spark Of The Next.

There Are No Circumstances, However Unfortunate, That Clever People Do Not Extract Some Advantage From.
