In every good man a God doth dwell.

It is proof of a bad cause when it is applauded by the mob.

Light troubles speak; the weighty are struck dumb.

Voyage, travel, and change of place impart vigor

Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness; life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.

No man is nobler born than another, unless he is born with better abilities and a more amiable disposition. They who make such a parade with their family pictures and pedigrees, are, properly speaking, rather to be called noted or notorious than noble persons. I thought it right to say this much, in order to repel the insolence of men who depend entirely upon chance and accidental circumstances for distinction, and not at all on public services and personal merit.

It is the practice of the multitude to bark at eminent men, as little dogs do at strangers.
