Let us be brave in the face of adversity.
For the great benefits of our being- our life, health, and reason-we look upon ourselves.
To keep oneself safe does not mean to bury oneself.
I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.
He who looks for advantage out of friendship strips it all of its nobility.
We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.
