Pride And Vanity Have Built More Hospitals

One Good Man May Take Another's Word, If They So Agree, But A Whole Nation Ought Never To Trust To Any Honesty, But What Is Built Upon Necessity; For Unhappy Is The People, And Their Constitution Will Be Ever Precarious, Whose Welfare Must Depend Upon The Virtues And Consciences Of Ministers And Politicians.

Because Impudence Is A Vice, It Does Not Follow That Modesty Is A Virtue; It Is Built Upon Shame, A Passion In Our Nature, And May Be Either Good Or Bad According To The Actions Performed From That Motive.

There Is No Intrinsic Worth In Money But What Is Alterable With The Times, And Whether A Guinea Goes For Twenty Pounds Or For A Shilling, It Is The Labor Of The Poor And Not The High And Low Value That Is Set On Gold Or Silver, Which All The Comforts Of Life Must Arise From.

Those Who Get Their Living By Their Daily Labor . . . Have Nothing To Stir Them Up To Be Serviceable But Their Wants Which It Is A Prudence To Relieve, But Folly To Cure.

Some People Are Not To Be Persuaded To Taste Of Any Creatures They Have Daily Seen And Been Acquainted With, While They Were Alive; Others Extend Their Scruple No Further Than To Their Own Poultry, And Refuse To Eat What They Fed And Took Care Of Themselves; Yet All Of Them Will Feed Heartily And Without Remorse On Beef, Mutton And Fowls When They Are Bought In The Market.
