Our Virtues Are Often, In Reality, No

Moderation Is Like Sobriety: You Would Like To Have Some More, But Are Afraid Of Making Yourself Ill.

However Evil Men May Be They Dare Not Be Openly Hostile To Virtue, And So When They Want To Attack It They Pretend To Find It Spurious , Or Impute Crimes To It.

We Often Pay Our Debts Not Because It Is Only Fair That We Should, But To Make Future Loans Easier.

Interest Blinds Some People, And Enlightens Others.

We Seldom Find People Ungrateful So Long As It Is Thought We Can Serve Them.
