עמוד 47 - I hate and detest that animal called man, although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth.
עמוד 121 - I ought to think, that it is time for me to have done with the world, and so I would if I could get into a better before I was called into the best, and not die here in a rage, like a poisoned rat in a hole.
עמוד 123 - I have made a maxim, that should be writ in letters of diamonds, that a wise man ought to have money in his head, but not in his heart.
עמוד 83 - I have often wished that God Almighty would be so easy to the weakness of mankind as to let old friends be acquainted in another state ; and if I were to write an Utopia for heaven, that would be one of my schemes.

עמוד 60 - ... of any thing in this world, he is more than mortal; if ever he trifles, it must be when he turns a divine.
עמוד 6 - You are to understand that I live in the corner of a vast unfurnished house. My family consists of a steward, a groom, a helper in the stable, a footman, and an old maid, who are all at board wages, and when I do not dine abroad, or make an entertainment, which last is very rare, I eat a mutton-pie, and drink half a pint of wine. My amusements are defending my small dominions against the Archbishop, and endeavouring to reduce my rebellious choir.
