When men take pleasure in feeling their minds elevated with strong drink and so indulge their appetite as to disorder their understandings neglect their duty as members of a family or civil society and cast off all regard to religion their case is much to be pitied.

They are much to be pitied who have not been given a taste for nature early in life.

When bad men combine the good must associate else they will fall one by one an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.

Who is more to be pitied a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?
