Taste Consists In The Power Of Judging;

As The Primary End Of History Is To Record Truth, Impartiality, Fidelity And Accuracy Are The Fundamental Qualities Of An Historian.

It Is Pride Which Fills The World With So Much Harshness And Severity. We Are Rigorous To Offenses As If We Had Never Offended.

What Ever Purifies The Heart Also Fortifies It.

Nothing Leads More Directly To The Breach Of Charity, And To The Injury And Molestation Of Our Fellow-creatures, Than The Indulgence Of An Ill Temper.

We Ought Never To Sport With Pain And Distress In Any Of Our Amusements, Or Treat Even The Meanest Insect With Wanton Cruelty.
