The Good-Natur'd Man

This same philosophy is a good horse in the stable, but an arrant jade on a journey.

He calls his extravagance, generosity; and his trusting everybody, universal benevolence.

All his faults are such that one loves him still the better for them.

Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.

Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.

Silence gives consent.

Measures, not men, have always been my mark.
