Commend A Fool For His

As It Is The Nature Of A Kite To Devour Little Birds, So It Is The Nature Of Some Minds To Insult And Tyrannize Over Little People; This Being The Means Which They Use To Recompense Themselves For Their Extreme Servility And Condescension To Their Superiors; For Nothing Can Be More Reasonable Than That Slaves And Flatterers Should Exact The Same Taxes On All Below Them Which They Themselves Pay To All Above Them.

When I Mention Religion I Mean The Christian Religion; And Not Only The Christian Religion, But The Protestant Religion; And Not Only The Protestant Religion, But The Church Of England.

Wit, Like Hunger, Will Be With Great Difficulty Restrained From Falling On Vice And Ignorance, Where There Is Great Plenty And Variety Of Food.

For Nothing Can Be More Reasonable, Than That Slaves And Flatterers Should Exact The Same Taxes On All Below Them, Which They Themselves Pay To All Above Them.

A Lover, When He Is Admitted To Cards, Ought To Be Solemnly Silent, And Observe The Motions Of His Mistress. He Must Laugh When She Laughs, Sigh When She Sighs. In Short, He Should Be The Shadow Of Her Mind. A Lady, In The Presence Of Her Lover, Should Never Want A Looking-glass; As A Beau, In The Presence Of His Looking-glass, Never Wants A Mistress.
