Desultory thoughts and reflections
Blessington, Marguerite, Countess of
Maxims
Pride and poverty are the most ill-assorted companions that can meet.
They live in a state of continual warfare, and the sacrifices they exact
from each other, like those claimed by enemies to establish a hollow
peace, only serve to increase their discord.
LIBERTY.
Liberty, according to the acceptation of the term among its modern
votaries, consists in the right of doing every thing agreeable to
themselves, and of precluding others from enjoying the same privilege.
MANNERS.
In aping the manners of foreign countries, we lose what is best in our
own, and only expose ourselves to the ridicule of those we imitate.
THE END.
