“Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread; they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end.”

“If there were only one religion in England there would be danger of despotism, if there were two, they would cut each other's throats, but there are thirty, and they live in peace and happiness.”

“My life is a battle.”

“Men argue, nature acts.”

“Common sense is not so common.”

“A witty saying proves nothing.”

“The best is the enemy of the good.”
