How many persons fancy they have experience simply because they have grown old!

The Word of God proves the truth of religion; the corruption of man, its necessity; government, its advantages.

I know no real worth but that tranquil firmness which seeks dangers by duty, and braves them without rashness.

There are few persons of greater worth than their reputation; but how many are there whose worth is far short of their reputation!

It is having in some measure a sort of wit to know how to use the wit of others.

In all sorts of government man is made to believe himself free, and to be in chains.

Genius speaks only to genius.
