"The thoughts of a child are of so little consequence to the world, that it is no matter how incoherent they are."

"Custom is the great guide of human life."

"For no man can, in any case, be obliged to obey the laws of a foreign prince or state, who hath not given him leave to be of his religion, or to live within his territories."

"Whatsoever then he removes out of the state that nature hath provided, and left it in, he hath mixed his labour with, and joined to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property."

"To be happy, then, is to have a sound mind in a sound body, and to be well provided with the necessaries of life."
