A Wonder Lasts But Nine Days, And

The Only Source Of The True Ridiculous (as It Appears To Me) Is Affectation

It Is Not Enough That Your Designs, Nay That Your Actions, Are Intrinsically Good, You Must Take Care They Shall Appear So.

A Good Face They Say, Is A Letter Of Recommendation. O Nature, Nature, Why Art Thou So Dishonest, As Ever To Send Men With These False Recommendations Into The World!

There Is Not In The Universe A More Ridiculous, Nor A More Contemptible Animal, Than A Proud Clergyman.

The Constant Desire Of Pleasing Which Is The Peculiar Quality Of Some, May Be Called The Happiest Of All Desires In This That It Rarely Fails Of Attaining Its End When Not Disgraced By Affectation.
