We Are More Sensible Of What Is

The Same Intelligence Is Required To Marshal An Army In Battle And To Order A Good Dinner. The First Must Be As Formidable As Possible, The Second As Pleasant As Possible, To The Participants.

The State Of Life Is Most Happy Where Superfluities Are Not Required And Necessities Are Not Wanting.

Reason Speaks And Feeling Bites

The Whole Of Life Is But A Moment Of Time. It Is Our Duty, Therefore To Use It, Not To Misuse It.
