Strana 119 - Wherever God erects a house of prayer, The Devil always builds a chapel there: And 'twill be found upon examination, The latter has the largest congregation.
Strana 106 - I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
Strana xx - A Review of the Affairs of France, and of all Europe, as influenced by that Nation...
Strana 278 - Women, in my observation, have little or no difference in them, but as they are or are not distinguished by education. Tempers, indeed, may in some degree influence them, but the main distinguishing part is their Breeding. The whole sex are generally quick and sharp.

Mr. Addison was, to be sure, a great man; his learning was not profound, but his morality, his humour, and his elegance of writing set him very high.
Strana xxvii - John Bull in his Senses : being the Second Part of Law is a Bottomless Pit. — Printed from a manuscript found in the cabinet of the famous Sir Humphrey Polesworth.
Strana 7 - For instead of using only comparative and superlative words, and intellectual arguments, I have taken the course (as a specimen of the Political Arithmetick 1 have long aimed at) to express myself in terms of number, weight or measure; to use only arguments of sense; and to consider only such causes as have visible foundations in nature...
Strana 201 - Church : this is such a way of converting people as was never known ! This is selling them a liberty to transgress, for so much money ! If it be not a crime, why don't we give them full license ? and if it be, no price ought to compound for the committing of it ! for that is selling a liberty to people to sin against GOD and the Government...
Strana 124 - These are the heroes that despise the Dutch, And rail at new-come foreigners so much, Forgetting that themselves are all derived From the most scoundrel race that ever lived...
