Pleasure Is The Most Real Good In

A Man, Who Can, In Cold Blood, Hunt And Torture A Poor, Innocent Animal, Cannot Feel Much Compassion For The Distress Of His Own Species.

Do Not Neglect The Principles Of Foresight And Know That Often, Puffed Up With Success, Armies Have Lost The Fruit Of Their Heroism Through A Feeling Of False Security.

Always Presume That The Enemy Has Dangerous Designs And Always Be Forehanded With The Remedy. But Do Not Let These Calculations Make Your Timid.

One Should Never Despair Too Soon.

As To Your Newton, I Confess I Do Not Understand His Void And His Gravity; I Admit He Has Demonstrated The Movement Of The Heavenly Bodies With More Exactitude Than His Forerunners; But You Will Admit It Is An Absurdity To To Maintain The Existence Of Nothing.
