Стр. 305 - Prejudice renders a man's virtue his habit; and not a series of unconnected acts. Through just prejudice, his duty becomes a part of his nature.
Стр. 233 - ... le tableau des progrès de l'esprit humain. Ce progrès est soumis aux mêmes lois générales qui s'observent dans le développement individuel de nos facultés, puisqu'il est le résultat de ce développement, considéré en même temps dans un grand nombre d'individus réunis en société.
Стр. 221 - L'homme a des besoins et des facultés pour y pourvoir; du produit de ces facultés, différemment modifié, distribué, résulte une masse de richesses destinées à subvenir aux besoins communs. Mais quelles sont les lois suivant lesquelles ces richesses se forment ou se partagent, se conservent ou se consomment, s'accroissent ou se dissipent? Quelles sont aussi les lois de cet équilibre, qui tend sans cesse à s'établir entre les besoins et les ressources, et d'où il résulte plus de facilité...
Стр. 234 - ... les événements de l'avenir; pourquoi regarderait-on comme une entreprise chimérique celle de tracer avec quelque vraisemblance le tableau des destinées futures de l'espèce humaine d'après les résultats de son histoire?

Стр. 305 - We are afraid to put men to live and trade each on his own private stock of reason ; because we suspect that this stock in each man is small, and that the individuals would do better to avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations, and of ages.
Стр. 305 - ... it is with infinite caution that any man ought to venture upon pulling down an edifice which has answered in any tolerable degree for ages the common purposes of society, or on building it up again, without having models and patterns of approved utility before his eyes.
Стр. 314 - These opposed and conflicting interests, which you considered as so great a blemish in your old and in our present constitution, interpose a salutary check to all precipitate resolutions. They render deliberation a matter not of choice, but of necessity; they make all change a subject of compromise, which naturally begets moderation; they produce...
Стр. 304 - I was persuaded that government was a practical thing, made for the happiness of mankind, and not to furnish out a spectacle of uniformity, to gratify the schemes of visionary politicians.
