- Adversity is the first path to truth.
- Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
- Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
- For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.

- I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.

- It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
- Opinions are made to be changed, or how is truth to be got at?
