"So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do." - pg27

"He wish'd to please everybody; and, having little to give, he gave expectations"- pg32

"A thing the more important, as you prove how little necessary all origin is to happiness, virtue, or greatness." - pg57
