No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another. Thank you.

Good-breeding shows itself most where to an ordinary eye it appears the least.

If ridicule were employed to laugh men out of vice and folly, it might be of some use.

It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution.

We make provisions for this life as if it were never to have an end, and for the other life as though it were never to have a beginning.

Half the misery of human life might be extinguished if men would alleviate the general curse they lie under by mutual offices of compassion, benevolence, and humanity.

Blesses his stars and thinks it luxury.
