 Good manners are the settled medium of social, as specie is of commercial, life; returns are equally expected for both

 Great merit, or great failings, will make you respected or despised; but trifles, little attentions, mere nothings, either done or neglected, will make you either liked or disliked in the general run of the world.

 He makes people pleased with him by making them first pleased with themselves.

 Hear one side and you will be in the dark. Hear both and all will be clear.

 History is only a confused heap of facts

 Honest error is to be pitied, not ridiculed.

 Horse-play, romping, frequent and loud fits of laughter, jokes, and indiscriminate familiarity, will sink both merit and knowledge into a degree of contempt. They compose at most a merry fellow; and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable man.

 I am convinced that a light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning, have sometimes made a hero of the same man, who, by an indigestion, a restless night, and rainy morning, would have proved a coward.

 I am sure that since I have had the full use of my reason, nobody has ever heard me laugh.

 I am very sure that any man of common understanding may, by culture, care, attention, and labor, make himself what- ever he pleases, except a great poet.

 I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united; and when one suffers, the other sympathizes.

 I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house; but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments.

 I knew once a very covetous, sordid fellow [perhaps William Lowndes], who used to say, `Take care of the pence, for the pounds will take care of themselves.'

 I look upon indolence as a sort of suicide; for the man is effectually destroyed, though the appetites of the brute may survive.

 I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.
