 It is better to be able neither to read nor write than to be able to do nothing else.

 It is essential to the triumph of reform that it should never succeed.

 It is great to shake off the trammels of the world and of public opinion . . . and become the creature of the moment . . . known by no other title than The Gentleman in the Parlour!

 It is hard for any one to be an honest politician who is not born and bred a Dissenter.

 It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

 It is not the errors of others, but our own miscalculations, on which we wreak our lasting vengeance. It is ourselves that we cannot forgive.

 It is not the passion of a mind struggling with misfortune, or the hopelessness of its desires, but of a mind preying on itself, and disgusted with, or indifferent to all other things.

 It is surely a distinct question, what you can persuade people to do by argument and fair discussion, and what you may lawfully compel them to do, when reason and remonstrance fail.

 It is well that there is no one without a fault; for he would not have a friend in the world

 It might be argued, that to be a knave is the gift of fortune, but to play the fool to advantage it is necessary to be a learned man

 Learning is its own exceeding great reward.

 Learning is the knowledge of that which is not generally known to others, and which we can only derive at second-hand from books or other artificial sources. The knowledge of that which is before us, or about us, which appeals to our experience, passions, and pursuits, to the bosom and businesses of men, is not learning. Learning is the knowledge of that which none but the learned know.

 Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as ''spectacles'' to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions. The learned are mere literary drudges.

 Lest he should wander irretrievably from the right path, he stands still.

 Life is a continued struggle to be what we are not, and to do what we cannot
