Unjust Force Can Never Give Any Just

All The Politics In The World Are Nothing Else But A Kind Of Analysis Of The Quantity Of Probability In Casual Events, And A Good Politician Signifies No More But One Who Is Dexterous At Such Calculations.

All Political Parties Die At Last Of Swallowing Their Own Lies.

It Is Surprising To See What Superficial, Inconsequential Reasonings Satisfy The Most Part Of Mankind. A Piece Of Wit, A Jest, A Simile, Or A Quotation Of An Author, Passes For A Mighty Argument.... This Weakness And Effeminacy Of Mankind In Being Persuaded Where They Are Delighted, Have Made Them The Sport Of Orators, Poets, And Men Of Wit.

Truth Is The Same Thing To The Understanding, As Music To The Ear, And Beauty To The Eye.

It Is Impossible For A Die, With Such Determined Force And Direction Which Makes It Fall On Such A Determined Side, Only I Don't Know The Force And Direction Which Makes It Fall On Such A Determin'd Side, And Therefore I Call That Chance, Which Is Nothing, But Want Of Art.
