Truth springs from argument amongst friends. Truth springs from argument amongst friends. Luxury is a word of uncertain signification, and may be taken in a good as in a bad sense What praise is implied in the simple epithet useful! What reproach in the contrary He is happy whom circumstances suit his temper; but he Is more excellent who suits his temper to any circumstance. Though men of delicate taste be rare, they are easily to be distinguished in society by the soundness of their understanding, and the superiority of their faculties above the rest of mankind. Truth springs from argument amongst friends.
Mankind are so much the same, in all times and places, that history informs us of nothing new or strange in this particular. Its chief use is only to discover the constant and universal principles of human nature. Let us consider what we call vicious luxury. No gratification, however sensual, can of itself be esteemed vicious. A gratification is only vicious when it engrosses all a man's expense, and leaves no ability for such acts of duty and generosity as are required by his situation and fortune. The same care and toil that raise a dish of peas at Christmas would give bread to a whole family during six months. There is not to be found, in all history, any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men, of such unquestioned good sense, education and learning, as to secure us against all delusion in themselves. Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them. A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker. He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper but he is more excellent who can suit his temper to any circumstances Men often act knowingly against their interest. Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous Most Popular Topics:
