True Friendship Is Self-love At Second-hand.

The Thing Is Plain. All That Men Really Understand, Is Confined To A Very Small Compass; To Their Daily Affairs And Experience; To What They Have An Opportunity To Know, And Motives To Study Or Practice. The Rest Is Affectation And Imposture.

Some One Is Generally Sure To Be The Sufferer By A Joke.

Repose Is As Necessary In Conversation As In A Picture.

To Be Forward To Praise Others Implies Either Great Eminence, That Can Afford To, Part With Applause; Or Great Quickness Of Discernment, With Confidence In Our Own Judgments; Or Great Sincerity And Love Of Truth, Getting The Better Of Our Self-love.

Fashion Constantly Begins And Ends In The Two Things It Abhors Most, Singularity And Vulgarity.
