Study Has Been For Me The Sovereign Remedy Against All The Disappointments Of Life. I Have Never Known Any Trouble That An Hour's Reading Would Not Dissipate.

Power Ought To Serve As A Check To Power.

Ever Since The Invention Of Gunpowder.. I Continually Tremble Lest Men Should, In The End, Uncover Some Secret Which Would Provide A Short Way Of Abolishing Mankind, Of Annihilating Peoples And Nations In Their Entirety.

The Laws Do Not Take Upon Them To Punish Any Other Than Overt Acts.

The Crime Against Nature Will Never Make Any Great Progress In Society Unless People Are Prompted To It By Some Particular Custom.
