Plenty Of People Wish To Become Devout,

It Is Not The Business Of Virtue To Extirpate The Affections Of The Mind, But To Regulate Them.

We Find The Works Of Nature Still More Pleasant, The More They Resemble Those Of Art.

What An Absurd Thing It Is To Pass Over All The Valuable Parts Of A Man, And Fix Our Attention On His Infirmities.

Eternity! Thou Pleasing Dreadful Thought! Through What Variety Of Untried Being, Through What New Scenes And Changes Must We Pass!

Suspicion Is Not Less An Enemy To Virtue Than To Happiness; He That Is Already Corrupt Is Naturally Suspicious, And He That Becomes Suspicious Will Quickly Be Corrupt.
