I Defy You To Agitate Any Fellow

It Is No Small Mischief To A Boy, That Many Of The Best Years Of His Life Should Be Devoted To The Learning Of What Can Never Be Of Any Real Use To Any Human Being. His Mind Is Necessarily Rendered Frivolous And Superficial By The Long Habit Of Attaching Importance To Words Instead Of Things; To Sound Instead Of Sense.

Good Government Is Known From Bad Government By This Infallible Test: That Under The Former The Labouring People Are Well Fed And Well Clothed, And Under The Latter, They Are Badly Fed And Badly Clothed.

I Defy You To Agitate Any Fellow With A Full Stomach.

Never Esteem Men On Account Of Their Riches Or Their Station. Respect Goodness, Find It Where You May.

Give Me, Lord, Neither Poverty Nor Riches.
