The Mob Is A Sort Of Bear;

Happiness Is Not Perfected Until It Is Shared.

National Antipathy Is The Basest, Because The Most Illiberal And Illiterate Of All Prejudices.

Our Griefs, As Well As Our Joys, Owe Their Strongest Colors To Our Imaginations. There Is Nothing So Grievous To Be Borne That Pondering Upon It Will Not Make It Heavier; And There Is No Pleasure So Vivid That The Animation Of Fancy Cannot Liven It.

If Cowardice Were Not So Completely A Coward As To Be Unable To Look Steadily Upon The Effects Of Courage, He Would Find That There Is No Refuge So Sure As Dauntless Valor.

People Do Not Always Understand The Motives Of Sublime Conduct, And When They Are Astonished They Are Very Apt To Think They Ought To Be Alarmed The Truth Is None Are Fit Judges Of Greatness But Those Who Are Capable Of It.
