The History Of Mankind Is Little Else

There Are People Whom One Should Like Very Well To Drop, But Would Not Wish To Be Dropped By.

Some People Have A Foolish Way Of Not Minding, Or Pretending Not To Mind, What They Eat. For My Part, I Mind My Belly Very Studiously, And Very Carefully; For I Look Upon It, That He Who Does Not Mind His Belly Will Hardly Mind Anything Else.

Misery Is Caused For The Most Part, Not By A Heavy Crush Of Disaster, But By The Corrosion Of Less Visible Evils, Which Canker Enjoyment, And Undermine Security. The Visit Of An Invader Is Necessarily Rare, But Domestic Animosities Allow No Cessation.

Of All Noises, I Think Music Is The Least Disagreeable.

I Am Always Sorry When Any Language Is Lost, Because Languages Are The Pedigrees Of Nations.
