Sayfa 294 - I would recommend to you to talk in an humbler strain than your predecessors have done, and instead of presuming to be happy, instruct us only to be easy. The thoughts of him who would be discreet, and aim at practicable things, should turn upon allaying our pain rather than promoting our joy.
Sayfa 249 - IT was the common boaft of the Heathen Philofophers, that by the efficacy of their feveral doctrines, they made human nature refemble the divine. How much miftaken foever they might be in the feveral means they propofed for this end, it muft be owned that the defign was great and glorious.
