We Seldom Require More To The Happiness

When Any Calamity Is Suffered, The First Thing To Be Remembered Is, How Much Has Been Escaped.

As He That Lives Longest Lives But A Little While, Every Man May Be Certain That He Has No Time To Waste. The Duties Of Life Are Commensurate To Its Duration; And Every Day Brings Its Task, Which, If Neglected, Is Doubled On The Morrow.

To Mean Understandings, It Is Sufficient Honour To Be Numbered Amongst The Lowest Labourers Of Learning; But Different Abilities Must Find Different Tasks. To Hew Stone, Would Have Been Unworthy Of Palladio; And To Have Rambled In Search Of Shells And Flowers, Had But Ill Suited With The Capacity Of Newton.

Preserve Me From Unseasonable And Immoderate Sleep.

I Look Upon Every Day To Be Lost, In Which I Do Not Make A New Acquaintance.
