Private Property ... Is A Creature Of Society, And Is Subject To The Calls Of That Society, Whenever Its Necessities Shall Require It, Even To Its Last Farthing, Its Contributors Therefore To The Public Exigencies Are Not To Be Considered A Benefit On The Public, Entitling The Contributors To The Distinctions Of Honor And Power, But As The Return Of An Obligation Previously Received, Or As Payment For A Just Debt.

Be Not Disturbed At Trifles, Or At Accidents Common Or Unavoidable.

I Would Advise You To Read With A Pen In Your Hand And Enter In A Little Book Short Hints Of What You Feel That Is Common Or That May Be Useful; For This Will Be The Best Method Of Imprinting Such Portcullis In Your Memory.
