If Ordinary People Complain That I Speak

I Love A Gay And Sociable Wisdom, And Shun Harshness And Austerity In Behaviour, Holding Every Surly Countenance Suspect.

I Neither Complain Of The Past, Nor Do I Fear The Future.

There Is No Passion That So Much Transports Men From Their Right Judgments As Anger. No One Would Demur Upon Punishing A Judge With Death Who Should Condemn A Criminal Upon The Account Of His Own Choler; Why Then Should Fathers And Pedants Be Any More Allowed To Whip And Chastise Children In Their Anger? It Is Then No Longer Correction Bat Revenge. Chastisement Is Instead Of Physic To Children; And Should We Suffer A Physician Who Should Be Animated Against And Enraged At His Patient?

Praise Is Always Pleasing, Let It Come From Whom, Or Upon What Account It Will.

As Far As Fidelity Is Concerned, There Is No Animal In The World As Treacherous As Man.
