We must form our minds by reading deep rather than wide.

Our minds are like our stomaches; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetite.

While we are making up our minds as to when we shall begin, the opportunity is lost.

The prosperous can not easily form a right idea of misery.

For it would have been better that man should have been born dumb, nay, void of all reason, rather than that he should employ the gifts of Providence to the destruction of his neighbor.

We excuse our sloth under the pretext of difficulty.
