Every Body has so good an Opinion of their own Understanding as to think their own way the best.

Your glass will not do you half so much service as a serious reflection on your own minds.

Upon the principles of reason, the good of many is preferable to the good of a few or of one; a lasting good is to be preferred before a temporary, the public before the private.

Women need not take up with mean things, since (if they are not wanting to themselves) they are capable of the best.

I think that there is always a part of utopia in any romantic relationship.

Marriage, like everything else in the world, is holy or unholy depending on the purpose the mind ascribes to it.

Over the years the political establishment has frowned if a mainstream politician mentions marriage.

The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon... it sounds romantic, but it's true - the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine - a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special.
