Ceremonies Are The Outworks Of Manners.

If You Have An Hour, Will You Not Improve That Hour, Instead Of Idling It Away?

Wise People May Say What They Will, But One Passion Is Never Cured By Another.

As Kings Are Begotten And Born Like Other Men, It Is To Be Presumed That They Are Of The Human Species; And Perhaps, Had They Thesame Education, They Might Prove Like Other Men. But, Flattered From Their Cradles, Their Hearts Are Corrupted, And Their Heads Are Turned, So That They Seem To Be A Species By Themselves.... Flattery Cannot Be Too Strong For Them; Drunk With It From Their Infancy, Like Old Drinkers, They Require Dreams.

Manners Must Adorn Knowledge And Smooth Its Way Through The World.

Absolute Power Can Only Be Supported By Error, Ignorance And Prejudice.
