 I can't drink a little, therefore I never touch it. Abstinance is as easy for me as tempreance would be difficult. |
| I cannot forbear to wish, that this commotion (in the colonies) may end without bloodshed, and that the rebels may be subdued by terror rather than by violence; and, therefore, recommend such a force as may take away, not only the power, but the hope |
| I deny the lawfulness of telling a lie to a sick man for fear of alarming him; you have no business with consequences you are to tell the truth. |
| I do not like much to see a Whig in any dress; but I hate to see a Whig in a parson's gown. |

| I gleaned jests at home from obsolete farces. |
| I hate mankind, for I think of myself as one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am. |

| I have protracted my work till most of those whom I wished to please have sunk into the grave, and success and miscarriage are empty sounds: I therefore dismiss it with frigid tranquillity, having little to fear or hope from censure or from praise. |
