Edward Gibbon
  • I was never less alone than when by myself.

  • Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.

  • Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.

  • The courage of a soldier is found to be the cheapest and most common quality of human nature.

  • Their poverty secured their freedom, since our desires and our possessions are the strongest fetters of despotism.
