Let a man behave in his own house as a guest.

The man for whom the law exists - the man of forms, the conservative - is a tame man.

The foundations of a person are not in matter but in spirit.

Tis the privilege of Art Thus to play its cheerful part, Man on earth to acclimate And bend the exile to his fate.

The people are to be taken in very small doses.

Nature, through all her kingdoms, insures herself.

Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinction. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit. It is like ice, on which no beauty of form, no majesty of carriage, can plead any immunity; they must walk gingerly, according to the laws of ice, or down they must go, dignity and all.
