• In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.

• Water and oil, simply considered, are capable of giving some pleasure to the taste. Water, when simple, is insipid, inodorous, colorless, and smooth; it is found, when not cold, to be a great resolver of spasms, and lubricator of the fibres; this power it probably owes to its smoothness.

• Taste and elegance, though they are reckoned only among the smaller and secondary morals, yet are of no mean importance in the regulations of life.

• I cannot stand forward, and give praise or blame to any thing which relates to human actions, and human concerns, on a simple view of the subject as it stands stripped of every relation, in all the nakedness and solitude of metaphysical abstraction. Circumstances (which with some gentlemen pass for nothing) give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing colour, and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind.

• En lugar de desechar todos nuestros viejos prejuicios, los conservamos en un grado muy considerable y, para mayor vergüenza nuestra, los conservamos porque son prejuicios; y cuanto más han durado y cuanto más han prevalecido en general, más los conservamos. Tememos poner a los hombres a vivir y comerciar cada uno con su propia reserva privada de razón; porque sospechamos que esta reserva en cada hombre es pequeña, y que los individuos harían mejor en servirse del banco general y del capital de las naciones y de las edades.
