To Know How To Live

We Are Nearer Neighbours To Ourselves Than Whiteness To Snow, Or Weight To Stones.

There Is No So Wretched And Coarse A Soul Wherein Some Particular Faculty Is Not Seen To Shine.

I Had Rather Fashion My Mind Than Furnish It.

To Divert Myself From A Troublesome Fancy, It Is But To Run To My Books; They Presently Fix Me To Them, And Drive The Other Out Of My Thoughts, And Do Not Mutiny To See That I Have Only Recourse To Them For Want Of Other More, Real, Natural, And Lively Conveniences; They Always Receive Me With The Same Kindness.

A Speech Belongs Half To The Speaker And Half To The Listener.
