They That Apply Themselves To Trifling Matters

We Are Sometimes As Different From Ourselves As We Are From Others.

When We Seek Reconciliation With Our Enemies, It Is Commonly Out Of A Desire To Better Our Own Condition, A Being Harassed And Tired Out With A State Of War, And A Fear Of Some Ill Accident Which We Are Willing To Prevent.

The Simplest Man With Passion Will Be More Persuasive Than The Most Eloquent Without.

Few Things Are Impossible In Themselves: Application To Make Them Succeed Fails Us More Often Than The Means.

Nothing Is More Contagious Than Example, And No Man Does Any Exceeding Good Or Exceeding Ill But It Spawns New Deeds Of The Same Kind. The Good We Imitate Through Emulation, The Ill Through The Malignity Of Our Nature, Which Shame Keeps Locked Up, But Example Sets Free.
