Presumption First Blinds A Man, Then Sets

It Is Wonderful How Preposterously The Affairs Of The World Are Managed. We Assemble Parliaments And Councils To Have The Benefit Of Collected Wisdom, But We Necessarily Have, At The Same Time, The Inconvenience Of Their Collected Passions, Prejudices And Private Interests: For Regulating Commerce An Assembly Of Great Men Is The Greatest Fool On Earth

Tis Easy To See, Hard To Foresee.

Mankind Naturally And Generally Love To Be Flatter'd.

Sloth And Silence Are A Fool's Virtues

If It Were Not For The Belly, The Back Might Wear Gold.
