There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom.

It is wise not to seek a secret, and honest not to reveal one.

For as men in battle are continually in the way of shot, so we, in this world, are ever within the reach of Temptation.

The country life is to be preferred, for there we see the works of God; but in cities little else but the works of men. And the one makes a better subject for contemplation than the other.

Naked Truth needs no shift.

Neither despise nor oppose what thou dost not understand.

Neither great nor good things were ever attained without loss and hardships. Those that would reap and not labour, must faint with the wind, and perish in disappointments; but an hair of my head shall not fall, without the providence of my Father that is over all.
