Bread is the staff of life.

When we are old, our friends find it difficult to please us, and are less concerned whether we be pleased or not.

We have an intuitive sense of our duty.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect.

... the atheists, libertines, despisers of religion ... that is to say all those who usually pass under the name of Free-thinkers.

Observation is an old man's memory.

Blot out, correct, insert, refine, enlarge, diminish, interline. Be mindful, when invention fails. To scratch your head and bite your nails.
