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.

No one is better born than another, unless they are born with better abilities and a more amiable disposition.

It is not death we fear, but the thought of it.

It is the sign of a great mind to dislike greatness, and prefer things in measure to things in excess.

The sun also shines on the wicked.
