Men Seldom Give Pleasure When

Every Man Is Rich Or Poor According To The Proportion Between His Desires And His Enjoyments.

Few Men Survey Themselves With So Much Severity As Not To Admit Prejudices In Their Own Favor.

It Is To Be Steadily Inculcated, That Virtue Is The Highest Proof Of Understanding, And The Only Solid Basis Of Greatness.

Where Necessity Ends, Desire And Curiosity Begin; And No Sooner Are We Supplied With Everything Nature Can Demand Than We Sit Down To Contrive Artificial Appetites.

Tomorrow Is An Old Deceiver, And His Cheat Never Grows Stale.
