It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance, it lasts so short a time.
From Samuel Johnson
I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man's virtues the means of deceiving him.
Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.
Exercise is labor without weariness.
Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.
Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.
No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.
Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.
The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
Were it not for imagination a man would be as happy in arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.
