In The Affairs Of This World, Men

Honesty Is The Best Policy.

Ambition Has Its Disappointments To Sour Us, But Never The Good Fortune To Satisfy Us.

History Affords Us Many Instances Of The Ruin Of States, By The Prosecution Of Measures Ill Suited To The Temper And Genius Of Their People. The Ordaining Of Laws In Favor Of One Part Of The Nation, To The Prejudice And Oppression Of Another, Is Certainly The Most Erroneous And Mistaken Policy. ... These Measures Never Fail To Create Great And Violent Jealousies And Animosities Between The People Favored And The People Oppressed; Whence A Total Separation Of Affections, Interests, Political Obligations, And All Manner Of Connections, By Which The Whole State Is Weakened.

The Only Time Not Wasted Is Wasted Time.

He That's Content Hath Enough.
