Few Men Survey Themselves With So Much

Much Mischief Is Done In The World With Very Little Interest Or Design.

Idleness Is Often Covered By Turbulence And Hurry. He That Neglects His Known Duty And Real Employment Naturally Endeavours To Crowd His Mind With Something That May Bar Out The Remembrance Of His Own Folly, And Does Any Thing But What He Ought To Do With Eager Diligence, That He May Keep Himself In His Own Favour.

Treating Your Adversary With Respect Is Striking Soft In Battle.

It Is Unpleasing To Represent Our Affairs To Our Own Disadvantage; Yet It Is Necessary To Shew The Evils Which We Desire To Be Removed.

All Censure Of A Man's Self Is Oblique Praise. It Is In Order To Show How Much He Can Spare.
