Everything Since Homer Has Improved,

Man Is Almost Always As Wicked As His Needs Require.

It's Interesting To Observe That Almost All Truly Worthy Men Have Simple Manners, And That Simple Manners Are Almost Always Taken As A Sign Of Little Worth

The World Laughs At Things It Would Really Prefer To Admire, And Like Aesop's Fox It Criticizes Things It Covets.

No One Is So Completely Disenchanted With The World, Or Knows It So Thoroughly, Or Is So Utterly Disgusted With It, That When It Begins To Smile Upon Him He Does Not Become Partially Reconciled To It.

The End Of Pain We Take As Happiness.
