A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.

But such is the irresistible nature of truth that all it asks and all it wants is the liberty of appearing.

Calumny is a vice of curious constitution; trying to kill it keeps it alive; leave it to itself and it will die a natural death.

A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue but moderation in principle is always a vice.

The instant formal government is abolished society begins to act. A general association takes place and common interest produces common security.

Virtues are acquired through endeavor Which rests wholly upon yourself. So to praise others for their virtues can but encourage one's own efforts.
