As A Conquered Rebellion Strengthens A Government,

When The Effects Of Female Jealousy Do Not Appear Openly In Their Proper Colours Of Rage And Fury, We May Suspect That Mischievous Passion To Be At Work Privately, And Attempting To Undermine, What It Doth Not Attack Above-ground.

A Good Man Therefore Is A Standing Lesson To Us All.

The Raillery Which Is Consistent With Good-breeding Is A Gentle Animadversion Of Some Foible, Which, While It Raises The Laugh In The Rest Of The Company, Doth Not Put The Person Rallied Out Of Countenance, Or Expose Him To Shame Or Contempt. On The Contrary, The Jest Should Be So Delicate That The Object Of It Should Be Capable Of Joining In The Mirth It Occasions.

Love May Be Likened To A Disease In This Respect, That When It Is Denied A Vent In One Part, It Will Certainly Break Out In Another; Hence What A Woman's Lips Often Conceal, Her Eyes, Her Blushes, And Many Little Involuntary Actions Betray.

We Should Not Be Too Hasty In Bestowing Either Our Praise Or Censure On Mankind, Since We Shall Often Find Such A Mixture Of Good And Evil In The Same Character, That It May Require A Very Accurate Judgment And A Very Elaborate Inquiry To Determine On Which Side The Balance Turns.
