The Apparent Foolishness Of Others Is But

Many A Man Has A Kind Of A Kaleidoscope, Where The Bits Of Broken Glass Are His Own Merits And Fortunes; And They Fall Into Harmonious Arrangements, And Delight Him, Often Most Mischievously And To His Ultimate Detriment; But They Are A Present Pleasure.

Those Who Are Successfully To Lead Their Fellow-men, Should Have Once Possessed The Nobler Feelings. We Have All Known Individuals Whose Magnanimity Was Not Likely To Be Troublesome On Any Occasion; But Then They Betrayed Their Own Interests By Unwisely Omitting The Consideration, That Such Feelings Might Exist In The Breasts Of Those Whom They Had To Guide And Govern: For They Themselves Cannot Even Remember The Time When In Their Eyes Justice Appeared Preferable To Expediency, The Happiness Of Others To Self-interest, Or The Welfare Of A State To The Advancement Of A Party.

The Most Enthusiastic Man In A Cause Is Rarely Chosen As The Leader.

I Do Not Know Any Way So Sure Of Making Others Happy As Of Being So Oneself, To Begin With.

No Man Has Ever Praised To Persons Equally-and Pleased Them Both.
