Prosperity Engenders Sloth.

The Mind Sins, Not The Body; If There Is No Intention, There Is No Blame.

Favor And Honor Sometimes Fall More Fitly On Those Who Do Not Desire Them.

The Study Of History Is The Best Medicine For A Sick Mind; For In History You Have A Record Of The Infinite Variety Of Human Experience Plainly Set Out For All To See; And In That Record You Can Find Yourself And Your Country Both Examples And Warnings; Fine Things To Take As Models, Base Things Rotten Through And Through, To Avoid.

Present Sufferings Seem Far Greater To Men Than Those They Merely Dread.

We Can Endure Neither Our Vices Nor Their Cure.
