Nothing Odd Will Do Long. Tristram Shandy

It Is Generally Allowed, That No Man Ever Found The Happiness Of Possession Proportionate To That Expectation Which Incited His Desire, And Invigorated His Pursuit; Nor Has Any Man Found The Evils Of Life So Formidable In Reality, As They Were Described To Him By His Own Imagination; Every Species Of Distress Brings With It Some Peculiar Supports, Some Unforeseen Means Of Resisting, Or Powers Of Enduring.

Hypocrisy Is The Necessary Burden Of Villainy.

Never Speak Of A Man In His Own Presence. It Is Always Indelicate, And May Be Offensive .

Nothing Can Be Truly Great Which Is Not Right.

No Man Tells His Opinion So Freely As When He Imagines It Received With Implicit Veneration.
