     Greatest fools are the greatest liars
     Grow wiser when it is too late
     Guard against those who make the most court to you
     Habit and prejudice
     Habitual eloquence
     Half done or half known
     Hardened to the wants and distresses of mankind
     Hardly any body good for every thing
     Haste and hurry are very different things
     Have no pleasures but your own
     Have a will and an opinion of your own, and adhere to it
     Have I employed my time, or have I squandered it? 
     Have but one set of jokes to live upon
     Have you learned to carve? 
     He that is gentil doeth gentil deeds
     He will find it out of himself without your endeavors
     Heart has such an influence over the understanding
     Helps only, not as guides
     Herd of mankind can hardly be said to think
     Historians
     Holiday eloquence
     Home, be it ever so homely
     Honest error is to be pitied, not ridiculed
     Honestest man loves himself best
     Horace
     How troublesome an old correspondent must be to a young one
     How much you have to do; and how little time to do it in
     Human nature is always the same
     Hurt those they love by a mistaken indulgence
     I hope, I wish, I doubt, and fear alternately
     I shall never know, though all the coffeehouses here do. 
     I shall always love you as you shall deserve. 
     I know myself (no common piece of knowledge, let me tell you)
     I cannot do such A thing
     I, who am not apt to know anything that I do not know
     Idleness is only the refuge of weak minds
     If free from the guilt, be free from the suspicion, too
     If you would convince others, seem open to conviction yourself
     If I don’t mind his orders he won’t mind my draughts
     If you will persuade, you must first please
     If once we quarrel, I will never forgive
     Ignorant of their natural rights, cherished their chains
     Impertinent insult upon custom and fashion
     Improve yourself with the old, divert yourself with the young
     Inaction at your age is unpardonable
     Inattention
     Inattentive, absent; and distrait
     Inclined to be fat, but I hope you will decline it
     Incontinency of friendship among young fellows
     Indiscriminate familiarity
     Indiscriminately loading their memories with every part alike
     Indolence
     Indolently say that they cannot do
     Infallibly to be gained by every sort of flattery
     Information is, in a certain degree, mortifying
     Information implies our previous ignorance; it must be sweetened
     Injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult
     Inquisition
     Insinuates himself only into the esteem of fools
     Insipid in his pleasures, as inefficient in everything else
