What is meat for one is not for another--no accounting for fancy.

A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world.

Great learning and superior abilities...will be of little value and small estimation unless virtue, honor, truth, and integrity are added to them.

These are the times when a genius wants to live.

No one is without their difficulties, whether in High, or low Life, & every person knows best where their own shoe pinches.

Great necessities call out great virtues.

My bursting heart must find vent at my pen.
