Of all human foibles love of living is the most powerful.
The more powerful the obstacle, the more glory we have in overcoming it; and the difficulties with which we are met are the maids of honor which set off virtue.
Nearly all men die of their medicines, not of their diseases.
The smallest errors are always the best.
I have the knack of easing scruples.
All extremes does perfect reason flee, And wishes to be wise quite soberly.
