I Have Had Friends Who Have Acted

The Sweetest Pleasures Are Those Which Are Hardest To Be Won.

Enjoy The Present, Bid Defiance To The Future, Laugh At All Those Reasonable Beings Who Exercise Their Reason To Avoid The Misfortunes Which They Fear, Destroying At The Same Time The Pleasure That They Might Enjoy.

Desires Are But Pain And Torment, And Enjoyment Is Sweet Because It Delivers Us From Them.

I Have Met With Some Of Them - Very Honest Fellows, Who, With All Their Stupidity, Had A Kind Of Intelligence And An Upright Good Sense, Which Cannot Be The Characteristics Of Fools.

I Am Bound To Add That The Excess In Too Little Has Ever Proved In Me More Dangerous Than The Excess In Too Much; The Last May Cause Indigestion, But The First Causes Death.
