Let us try what love will do.

There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom.

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

A private Life is to be preferrd; the Honour and Gain of publick Posts, bearing no proportion with the Comfort of it.

True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it.

Those who live to live forever, never fear dying.

Force may subdue, but love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel.
