All The Arguments Which Are Brought To

Virtue Is Too Often Merely Local.

Few Things Are So Liberally Bestowed, Or Squandered With So Little Effect, As Good Advice.

It Would Add Much To Human Happiness, If An Art Could Be Taught Of Forgetting All Of Which The Remembrance Is At Once Useless And Afflictive, That The Mind Might Perform Its Functions Without Encumbrance, And The Past Might No Longer Encroach Upon The Present.

Care That Is Once Enter'd Into The Breast Will Have The Whole Possession Ere It Rest.

It Is, However, Not Necessary, That A Man Should Forbear To Write, Till He Has Discovered Some Truth Unknown Before; He May Be Sufficiently Useful, By Only Diversifying The Surface Of Knowledge, And Luring The Mind By A New Appearance To A Second View Of Those Beauties Which It Had Passed Over Inattentively Before.
