Strana 434 - When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.
Strana 492 - ... graceful, and agreeable young women in London, only a little too fat. Her hair was blacker than a raven, and every feature of her face in perfection. . . . Never was any of her sex born with better gifts of the mind, or who more improved them by reading and conversation.
Strana 330 - THE HONOURABLE ROBERT BOYLE'S MEDITATIONS. '""PHIS single stick, which you now behold ingloriously lying •*- in that neglected corner, I once knew in a flourishing state in a forest ; it was full of sap, full of leaves, and full of boughs ; but now, in vain does the busy art of man pretend to vie with nature, by tying that withered bundle of twigs to its sapless trunk...

Strana 420 - I advise that your company at home should consist of men, rather than women. To say the truth, I never yet knew a tolerable woman to be fond of her own sex.
Strana 330 - Surely mortal man is a broomstick ! nature sent him into the world strong and lusty, in a thriving condition, wearing his own hair on his head, the proper branches of this reasoning •vegetable, until the axe of intemperance has lopped off his green boughs, and left him a withered trunk...
Strana 423 - As little Respect as I have for the Generality of your Sex, it hath sometimes moved me with Pity, to see the Lady of the House forced to withdraw, immediately after Dinner, and this in Families where there is not much Drinking; as if it were an established Maxim, that Women are incapable of all Conversation.
Strana 338 - This may be true in oratory ; but contemplation in other things, exceeds action. And therefore a wise man is never less alone, than when he is alone : Nunquam minus solus, quam cum solus.
