A Man Is In General Better Pleased

Slander Is The Revenge Of A Coward, And Dissimulation Of His Defense.

The Mere Power Of Saving What Is Already In Our Hands Must Be Of Easy Acquisition To Every Mind; And As The Example Of Lord Bacon May Show That The Highest Intellect Cannot Safely Neglect It, A Thousand Instances Every Day Prove That The Humblest May Practise It With Success.

I Wish There Were Some Cure, Like The Lover's Leap, For All Heads Of Which Some Single Idea Has Obtained An Unreasonable And Irregular Possession.

Labor, If It Were Not Necessary For Existence, Would Be Indispensable For The Happiness Of Man.

Pain Is Less Subject Than Pleasure To Careless Expression.
