We Are As Liable To Be Corrupted

There Cannot Be A Move Glorious Object In Creation Than A Human Being Replete With Benevolence, Meditating In What Manner He Might Render Himself Most Acceptable To His Creator By Doing Most Good To His Creatures.

As It Is The Nature Of A Kite To Devour Little Birds, So It Is The Nature Of Some Minds To Insult And Tyrannize Over Little People; This Being The Means Which They Use To Recompense Themselves For Their Extreme Servility And Condescension To Their Superiors; For Nothing Can Be More Reasonable Than That Slaves And Flatterers Should Exact The Same Taxes On All Below Them Which They Themselves Pay To All Above Them.

Setting Down In Writing, Is A Lasting Memory.

Hairbreadth Missings Of Happiness Look Like The Insults Of Fortune.

A Tender-hearted And Compassionate Disposition, Which Inclines Men To Pity And Feel The Misfortunes Of Others, And Which Is, Even For Its Own Sake, Incapable Of Involving Any Man In Ruin And Misery, Is Of All Tempers Of Mind The Most Amiable; And Though It Seldom Receives Much Honor, Is Worthy Of The Highest.
