I know not how to abstain from reading.

But Lord! To see the absurd nature of Englishmen that cannot forbear laughing and jeering at everything that looks strange.

I do still see that my nature is not to be quite conquered, but will esteem pleasure above all things, though yet in the middle of it, it has reluctances after my business, which is neglected by my following my pleasure. However musique and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.

He that will not stoop for a pin will never be worth a pound.

However, music and women I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.

As happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!
