Manchester, One Of The Greatest, If Not

I Am Giving An Account Of What Was, Not Of What Ought Or Ought Not To Be.

Nature Has Left This Tincture In The Blood, That All Men Would Be Tyrants If They Could.

A Rich Man Is An Honest Man--no Thanks To Him; For He Would Be A Double Knave, To Cheat Mankind When He Had No Need Of It: He Has No Occasion To Press Upon His Integrity, Nor So Much As To Touch Upon The Borders Of Dishonesty.

Abused Prosperity Is Oftentimes Made The Very Means Of Our Greatest Adversity.

As Covetousness Is The Root Of All Evil, So Poverty Is The Worst Of All Snares.
