עמוד 132 - I will further tell you, that all my endeavours, from a boy, to distinguish myself, were only for want of a great title and fortune, that I might be used like a Lord by those who have an opinion of my parts — whether right or wrong, it is no great matter, and so the reputation of wit or great learning does the office of a blue ribbon, or of a coach and six horses.
עמוד 50 - I have often endeavoured to establish a friendship among all men of genius, and would fain have it done : they are seldom above three or four contemporaries, and if they could be united, would drive the world before them.
עמוד 56 - The matter is so clear that it will admit of no dispute ; nay, I will hold a hundred pounds that you and I agree in the point.

עמוד 77 - The politicians to a man agree, that it is free from particular reflections, but that the satire on general societies of men is too severe.
עמוד 61 - I've fancied, I say, that we should meet like the righteous in the Millennium, quite in peace, divested of all our former passions, smiling at our past follies, and content to enjoy the kingdom of the just in tranquillity.
