A Stander-by is often a better judge of the game than those that play.
From Samuel Richardson
Men generally are afraid of a wife who has more understanding than themselves.
Love before marriage is absolutely necessary.
Those who have least to do are generally the most busy people in the world.
Those who will bear much, shall have much to bear.
Great allowances ought to be made for the petulance of persons laboring under ill-health.
The World, thinking itself affronted by superior merit, takes delight to bring it down to its own level.
Sorrow makes an ugly face odious.
A good man, though he will value his own countrymen, yet will think as highly of the worthy men of every nation under the sun.
Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it.
