A Man Used To Vicissitudes Is Not

Vulgar And Inactive Minds Confound Familiarity With Knowledge, And Conceive Themselves Informed Of The Whole Nature Of Things, When They Are Shown Their Form Or Told Their Use.

Beauty, Without Kindness, Dies Unenjoyed And Undelighting.

Praise, Like Gold And Diamonds, Owes Its Value Only To Its Scarcity. It Becomes Cheap As It Becomes Vulgar, And Will No Longer Raise Expectation Or Animate Enterprise.

The Happiness Of London Is Not To Be Conceived But By Those Who Have Been In It.

The Vicious Count Their Years; Virtuous, Their Acts.
