There are two types of knowledge. One is knowing a thing. The other is knowing where to find it.

A country gentleman should bring his lady to visit London as soon as he can, that they may have agreeable topicks for conversation when they are by themselves.

Moderation is commonly firm, and firmness is commonly successful.

It is commonly observed, that when two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather; they are in haste to tell each other, what each must already know, that it is hot or cold, bright or cloudy, windy or calm.

Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments; any enlargement of wishes is therefore equally destructive to happiness with the diminution of possession, and he that teaches another to long for what he never shall obtain is no less an enemy to his quiet than if he had robbed him of part of his patrimony

Faction seldom leaves a man honest, however it might find him.

Try and forget our cares and sickness, and contribute, as we can to the happiness of each other.
