Money confounds subordination.

Tomorrow is an old deceiver, and his cheat never grows stale.

A woman of fortune being used the handling of money, spends it judiciously; but a woman who gets the command of money for the first time upon her marriage, has such a gust in spending it, that she throws it away with great profusion.

Every one should consider himself as intrusted not only with his own conduct, but with that of others; and as accountable, not only for the duties which he neglects, or the crimes that he commits, but for that negligence and irregularity which he may encourage or inculcate. Every man, in whatever station, has, or endeavours to have his followers, admirers, and imitators, and has therefore the influence of his example to watch with care.

No man is obliged to do as much as he can do. A man is to have part of his life to himself.

Friendship may well deserve the sacrifice of pleasure, though not of conscience.

Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.
