Reading is to the mind what exercising is to the body.
From Richard Steele
Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tongue of a Gossip.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
It is an endless and frivolous Pursuit to act by any other Rule than the Care of satisfying our own Minds in what we do.
Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.
A woman seldom writes her mind but in her postscript.
It is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it.
I cannot think of any character below the flatterer, except he who envies him.
The fool within himself is the object of pity, until he is flattered.
A little in drink, but at all times your faithful husband.
