 It is better that some should be unhappy rather than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality. |
| It is better to live rich than to die rich. |
| It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt. |
| It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust. |
| It is common for controversists, in the heat of disputation, to add one position to another till they reach the extremities of knowledge, where truth and falsehood lose their distinction |
| It is commonly a weak man who marries for love |
| It is dangerous for mortal beauty, or terrestrial virtue, to be examined by too strong a light. The torch of Truth shows much that we cannot, and all that we would not, see. |
| It is difficult to conjecture, from the conduct of him whom we see in a low condition, how he would act if wealth and power were put into his hands |
| It is difficult to reform a household gradually; it may be better done by a system totally new |
| It is easy for a man who sits idle at home, and has nobody to please but himself, to ridicule or censure the common practices of mankind |
| It is easy to talk of sitting at home contented, when others are seeing or making shows. But not to have been where it is supposed, and seldom supposed falsely, that all would go if they could; to be able to say nothing when everyone is talking; to have no opinion when everyone is judging; to hear exclamations of rapture without power to depress; to listen to falsehoods without right to contradict, is, after all, a state of temporary inferiority, in which the mind is rather hardened by stubbornness, than supported by fortitude. If the world be worth winning let us enjoy it, if it is to be despised let us despise it by conviction. But the world is not to be despised but as it is compared with something better. |
| It is generally agreed, that few men are made better by affluence or exaltation. |
| It is generally known, that he who expects much will be often disappointed; yet disappointment seldom cures us of expectation, or has any effect other than that of producing a moral sentence or peevish exclamation |
| It is indeed not easy to distinguish affectation from habit; he that has once studiously developed a style, rarely writes afterwards with complete ease |
| It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world. |
