Richard Cumberland Quotes

what Can More Effectually Conduce To The Profit And Delight Of Society? Yet I Am Sensible That A Man May Be Too Invariably Wise, Learned, Or Witty To Be Agreeable; And I Take The Reason Of This To Be, That Pleasure Cannot Be Bestowed By The Simple And Unmixed Exertion Of Any One Faculty Or Accomplishment.
