This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom  (Upon Quotes) I have no faith in human perfectability.

He hates him that would upon the rack of this tough world stretch him out longer  (Upon Quotes) The society of dead authors has this advantage over that of the living: they never flatter us to our faces, nor slander us behind our backs, nor intrude upon our privacy, nor quit their shelves until we take them down  (Upon Quotes) There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself  (Upon Quotes) Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself  (Upon Quotes)
