The Writing Of The Wise

The Happy Never Say, And Never Hear Said, Farewell.

Experience Is Our Only Teacher Both In War And Peace.

The Only Effect Of Public Punishment Is To Show The Rabble How Bravely It Can Be Borne; And That Every One Who Hath Lost A Toe-nail Hath Suffered Worse.

I Would Recommend A Free Commerce Both Of Matter And Mind. I Would Let Men Enter Their Own Churches With The Same Freedom As Their Own Houses; And I Would Do It Without A Homily Or Graciousness Or Favor, For Tyranny Itself Is To Me A Word Less Odious Than Toleration.

No Ashes Are Lighter Than Those Of Incense, And Few Things Burn Out Sooner.
