Were We Perfectly Acquainted With The Object,

Our Greediness So Often Troubles Us, Making Us Run After So Many Things At The Same Time, That While We Too Eagerly Look After The Least We Miss The Greatest.

Nothing Ought In Reason To Mortify Our Self-satisfaction More That The Considering That We Condemn At One Time What We Highly Approve And Commend At Another.

We Would Rather See Those To Whom We Do Good, Than Those Who Do Good To Us.

Spiritual Health Is No More Stable Than Bodily; And Though We May Seem Unaffected By The Passions We Are Just As Liable To Be Carried Away By Them As To Fall Ill When In Good Health.

It Is A Wearisome Disease To Preserve Health By Too Strict A Regimen.
