We Are As Liable To Be Corrupted

Some Virtuous Women Are Too Liberal In Their Insults To A Frail Sister; But Virtue Can Support Itself Without Borrowing Any Assistance From The Vices Of Other Women.

Great Vices Are The Proper Objects Of Our Detestation, Smaller Faults Of Our Pity, But Affectation Appears To Be The Only True Source Of The Ridiculous.

Now In Reality, The World Has Paid Too Great A Compliment To Critics, And Has Imagined Them To Be Men Of Much Greater Profundity Than They Really Are.

What A Silly Fellow Must He Be Who Would Do The Devil's Work For Free.

There Are Persons Of That General Philanthropy And Easy Tempers, Which The World In Contempt Generally Calls Good-natured, Who Seem To Be Sent Into The World With The Same Design With Which Men Put Little Fish Into A Pike Pond, In Order Only To Be Devoured By That Voracious Water-hero.
