Curiosity Is The Thirst Of The Soul.

Of All The Grief's That Harass The Distressed; Sure The Most Bitter Is A Scornful Jest.

He That Never Thinks Can Never Be Wise.

The Morality Of An Action Depends On The Motive From Which We Act. If I Fling Half A Crown To A Beggar With Intention To Break His Head And He Picks It Up And Buy Victuals With It, The Physical Effect Is Good. But With Respect To Me The Action Is Very Wrong.

He Who Sees Different Ways To The Same End, Will, Unless He Watches Carefully Over His Own Conduct, Lay Out Too Much Of His Attention Upon The Comparison Of Probabilities And The Adjustment Of Expedients, And Pause In The Choice Of His Road, Till Some Accident Intercepts His Journey.

Hope Is An Amusement Rather Than A Good, And Adapted To None But Very Tranquil Minds.
