Nothing Is So Improving To The Temper

I May Venture To Affirm The Rest Of Mankind, That They Are Nothing But A Bundle Or Collection Of Different Perceptions, Which Succeed Each Other With An Inconceivable Rapidity, And Are In A Perpetual Flux And Movement.

What A Peculiar Privilege Has This Little Agitation Of The Brain Which We Call 'thought'.

It Is Still Open For Me, As Well As You, To Regulate My Behavior, By My Experience Of Past Events.

Of All The Animals With Which This Globe Is Peopled, There Is None Towards Whom Nature Seems, At First Sight, To Have Exercised More Cruelty Than Towards Man, In The Numberless Wants And Necessities With Which She Has Loaded Him, And In The Slender Means Which She Affords To The Relieving These Necessities.

The Heart Of Man Is Made To Reconcile The Most Glaring Contradictions.
