We Should Not Judge A Man's Merits

Whilst Weakness And Timidity Keep Us To Our Duty, Virtue Has Often All The Honor.

Truth Has Scarce Done So Much Good In The World As The False Appearances Of It Have Done Hurt.

Virtues Lose Themselves In Self-interest, As Rivers In The Sea.

What Makes Us So Often Discontented With Those Who Transact Business For Us Is That They Almost Always Abandon The Interest Of Their Friends For The Interest Of The Business, Because They Wish To Have The Honor Of Succeeding In That Which They Have Undertaken.

As We Grow Older We Grow Both More Foolish And Wiser At The Same Time.
