Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing

"Blessed is the man who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed" was the ninth beatitude

Välsingnelse

Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But as the world, harmoniously confused, Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree

The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.

Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.

Ordning är Himlens första lag.

Order is Heaven's first law

While pensive poets painful vigils keep - Sleepless themselves to give their readers sleep

True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can

In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold, Alike fantastic if too new or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside

The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man's own eyes when they look upon his own person

Of manners gentle, of affections mild; In wit a man, simplicity a child

There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.

Trust not yourself, but your defects to know. Make use of every friend and every foe.

Laster är ett odjur med så fruktansvärd utseende
Att det bara behöver synas för att hatas;
Men sett för ofta, bekant med dess anlete,
Så lider vi först, sedan beklagar vi, och slutligen omfamnar vi.

Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to be hated needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, we first endure, then pity, then embrace

Wit is the lowest form of humor.
