A Preface of Quotations
Whoever desires for his writings or himself, what none can reasonably condemn, the favor of mankind,
must add grace to strength, and make his thoughts agreeable as well as useful.
Many complain of neglect
who never tried to attract regard.
It cannot be expected that the patrons of science or virtue should be
solicitous to discover excellencies which they who possess them shade and disguise.
