Live and let live is the rule of common justice.

To be longing for this thing to-day and for that thing to-morrow; to change likings for loathings, and to stand wishing and hankering at a venture--how is it possible for any man to be at rest in this fluctuant, wandering humor and opinion?

What signifies the sound of words in prayer without the affection of the heart, and a sedulous application of the proper means that may naturally lead us to such an end?

He that contemns a shrew to the degree of not descending to words with her does worse than beat her.

It is a way of calling a man a fool when no attention is given to what he says.

Wickedness may prosper for awhile, but in the long run, he that sets all the knaves at work will pay them.

He that would live clear of envy must lay his finger on his mouth, and keep his hand out of the ink-pot.
