It Is Not The Head

The Design Of Rhetoric Is To Remove Those Prejudices That Lie In The Way Of Truth, To Reduce The Passions To The Government Of Reasons; To Place Our Subject In A Right Light, And Excite Our Hearers To A Due Consideration Of It.

The Steps To Folly As Well As Sin Are Gradual, And Almost Imperceptible, And When We Are Once On The Decline, We Go Down Without Taking Notice On't.

We Ought As Much As We Can To Endeavour The Perfecting Of Our Beings, And That We Be As Happy As Possibly We May.

Ignorance And A Narrow Education Lay The Foundation Of Vice, And Imitation And Custom Rear It Up.

None Of God's Creatures Absolutely Consider'd Are In Their Own Nature Contemptible; The Meanest Fly, The Poorest Insect Has Its Use And Vertue.
