What Society Wants Is A New Motive,

I Shall Not Be Satisfied Unless I Produce Something Which Shall For A Few Days Supersede The Last Fashionable Novel On The Tables Of Young Ladies.

The End Of Government Is The Happiness Of The People.

I Shall Cheerfully Bear The Reproach Of Having Descended Below The Dignity Of History.

Books Are Becoming Everything To Me. If I Had At This Moment Any Choice In Life, I Would Bury Myself In One Of Those Immense Libraries...and Never Pass A Waking Hour Without A Book Before Me.

It Is The Age That Forms The Man, Not The Man That Forms The Age.
