Quote

The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance.

An extensive knowledge is needful to thinking people- it takes away the heat and fever; and helps, by widening speculation, to ease the burden of the mystery

The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

Each of us bears his own hell
