Most men make little use of their speech than to give evidence against their own understanding

It is a general Mistake to to think the Men we like are good for every thing, and those we do not, good for nothing

Men are not hanged for stealing horses but that horses may not be stolen

Every single Act either weakeneth or improveth our Credit with other Men; and as an habit of being just to our Word will confirm, so an habit of too freely dispensing with it must necessarily destroy it
