"Be to her virtues very kind, be to her faults a little blind. " — Matthew Prior

Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.

The wise only possess ideas, the great part of mankind are possessed by them

Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason - the law which is perfection of reason

I am not the least afraid to die

Always first draw fresh breath after outbursts of vanity and complacency.

Nothing puzzles me more than time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less
