If All Men Are Born Free, Why

If Absolute Sovereignty Be Not Necessary In A State, How Comes It To Be So In A Family?

To Plead For The Oppress'd And To Defend The Weak Seem'd To Me A Generous Undertaking; For Tho' It May Be Secure, 'tis Not Always Honourable To Run Over To The Strongest Party.

Unhappy Is That Grandeur Which Makes Us Too Great To Be Good; And That Wit Which Sets Us At A Distance From True Wisdom.

We Ought As Much As We Can To Endeavour The Perfecting Of Our Beings, And That We Be As Happy As Possibly We May.

The Span Of Life Is Too Short To Be Trifled Away In Unconcerning And Unprofitable Matters.
