Pardon Is Granted To Necessity.

Men Think They May Justly Do That For Which They Have A Precedent.

I Am Much Beholden To Old Age, Which Has Increased My Eagerness For Conversation In Proportion As It Has Lessened My Appetites Of Hunger And Thirst.

We Must Conceive Of This Whole Universe As One Commonwealth Of Which Both Gods And Men Are Members.

Other Relaxations Are Peculiar To Certain Times, Places And Stages Of Life, But The Study Of Letters Is The Nourishment Of Our Youth, And The Joy Of Our Old Age. They Throw An Additional Splendor On Prosperity, And Are The Resource And Consolation Of Adversity; They Delight At Home, And Are No Embarrassment Abroad; In Short, They Are Company To Us At Night, Our Fellow Travelers On A Journey, And Attendants In Our Rural Recesses.

There Is No Praise In Being Upright, Where No One Can, Or Tries To Corrupt You.
