The affections are the children of ignorance; when the horizon of our experience expands, and models multiply, love and admiration imperceptibly vanish.
Plagiarists, at least, have the merit of preservation.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Those who cannot themselves observe can at least acquire the observation of others.
All power is a trust, that we are accountable for its exercise.
Where knowledge ends, religion begins.
