I Never Invite Idiots To My House.

It Is More To My Personal Happiness And Advantage To Indulge The Love And Admiration Of Excellence, Than To Cherish A Secret Envy Of It.

Few People Know Anything Of The English History But What They Learn From Shakespear; For Our Story Is Rather A Tissue Of Personal Adventures And Catastrophes Than A Series Of Political Events.

I Often Think That Those People Are The Happiest Who Know Nothing At All Of The World, And Sitting In The Little Empire Of The Fireside, Where There Is No Contention Or Cabal, Think We Are In A Golden Age Of Existance.

Not To Be Miserable Is All Some People Are Capable Of.

Any Wife Will Save You From Purgatory, And A Diligent One Will Secure Heaven To You.
