"Stercus accidit."

"A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty."

"It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause"

"Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions."
