Go on makingkeeping
them and making
them happy:
go on so for
ever so long as
you do go on it honestly
but do not
take it into your
hands to make
men happy in
spite of their will.

Mahometons, families
inquisitors
An Inquisitor
A Pope of the
present days
is a good one
to you

Your contempt
for others maker must

you use suppose
that your
own opinion of
their interests is
worth every day
their good worth for
nothing - on
make a grand
it is impressible
you can build
true Guardian
Contempt
this is a ground
in which it is
impressible to
build true benevolence

them so long as
they think so
No other possible

virtues to prejudice
you against each

Politics not less
than Physics is
an experimental
science: feelings

elements that compose
it.

it be respected?

What sentiment
would it be most
pleasing to you
to create? abhorence
or admiration.
What sound
would be most grateful
to your ears?
the curses of your
friends, or the benedictions of your
enemies?
