 There are innumerable questions to which the inquisitive mind can in this state receive no answer: Why do you and I exist? Why was this world created? Since it was to be created, why was it not created sooner?

 There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain

 There are minds which easily sink into submission, that look on grandeur with undistinguishing reverence, and discover no defect where there is elevation of rank and affluence of riches

 There are multitudes whose life is nothing but a continuous lottery; who are always within a few months of plenty and happiness, and how often soever they are mocked with blanks, expect a prize from the next adventure

 There are people whom one should like very well to drop, but would not wish to be dropped by

 There are some sluggish men who are improved by drinking; as there are fruits that are not good until they are rotten.

 There are two things which I am confident I can do very well: one is an introduction to any literary work, stating what it is to contain, and how it should be executed in the most perfect manner; the other is a conclusion, showing from various causes

 There is no being so poor and so contemptible, who does not think there is somebody still poorer, and still more contemptible

 There is no kind of idleness by which we are so easily seduced as that which dignifies itself by the appearance of business.

 There is no wisdom in useless and hopeless sorrow

 There is no wisdom in useless and hopeless sorrow, but there is something in it so like virtue, that he who is wholly without it cannot be loved.
