“All truth is valuable, and satirical criticism may be considered as useful when it rectifies error and improves judgment; he that refines the public taste is a public benefactor.”

“Reflect that life, like every other blessing, Derives its value from its use alone.”

“In order that all men might be taught to speak truth, it is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it.”
