A fop of fashion is the mercer's friend, the tailor's fool, and his own foe.

The conscience is more wise than science.

Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself. He only who acts conscientiously toward himself, will act so toward others.

The man who loves with his whole heart truth will love still more he who suffers for truth.

Vanity and rudeness are seldom seen together.

He who, in questions of right, virtue, or duty, sets himself above all ridicule, is truly great, and shall laugh in the end with truer mirth than ever he was laughed at.

Superstition always inspires littleness, religion grandeur of mind; the superstitious raises beings inferior to himself to deities.
