"A too great disproportion among the citizens weakens any state. Every person, if possible, ought to enjoy the fruits of his labour, in a full possession of all the necessities, and many of the conveniences of life. No one can doubt, but such an equality is most suitable to human nature, and diminishes much less from the happiness of the rich than it adds to that of the poor."

"I may add that I am enjoying existence as much as ever, and regret nothing."
"I generally blog between 5:30 A.M. and 7 A.M. I will from time to time add something during the day, but for the most part blogging is an early morning activity for me."
"I will only add, God bless you."
"The daily work - that goes on, it adds up."
"Even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there’s no reason to add to everyone’s misery by looking miserable yourself."

"It is great to add some glamour to the food industry, like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications, they get their invitation to compete on 'Top Chef."
"I am ashamed to be a member of the human race but I don't want to add any more to that shame, I want to scrape a little of it off."
