Never Despise What You Don't Understand.

Inquiry Is Human; Blind Obedience Brutal. Truth Never Loses By The One But Often Suffers By The Other.

All Excess Is Ill; But Drunkenness Is Of The Worst Sort. It Spoils Health, Dismounts The Mind, And Unmans Men. It Reveals Secrets, Is Quarrelsome, Lascivious, Impudent, Dangerous, And Mad.

If We Would Mend The World, We Should Mend Ourselves; And Teach Our Children To Be, Not What We Are, But What They Should Be.

It Is A Cruel Folly To Offer Up To Ostentation So Many Lives Of Creatures, As To Make Up The State Of Our Treats.

For Disappointments, That Come Not By Our Own Folly, They Are The Trials Or Corrections Of Heaven: And It Is Our Own Fault, If They Prove Not Our Advantage.
