There are few things reason can discover with so much certainty and ease as its own insufficiency Picture Quote #1

Books are a guide in youth, and an entertainment for age. They support us under solitude, and keep us from becoming a burden to ourselves. They help us to forget the crossness of men and things, compose our cares and our passions, and lay our disappointments asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride or design in their conversation Picture Quote #1

What can be more honorable than to have courage enough to execute the commands of reason and conscience, to maintain the dignity of our nature, and the station assigned us? Picture Quote #1

Flattery is an ensnaring quality, and leaves a very dangerous impression. It swells a man’s imagination, entertains his vanity, and drives him to a doting upon his own person Picture Quote #1

A man by tumbling his thoughts, and forming them into expressions, gives them a new fermentation, which works them into a finer body Picture Quote #1

Goodness is generous and diffusive; it is largeness of mind, and sweetness of temper, balsam in the blood, and justice sublimated to a richer spirit Picture Quote #1

Avoid all affectation and singularity. What is according to nature is best, and what is contrary to it is always distasteful. Nothing is graceful that is not our own Picture Quote #1
