Charles Churchill
 Ett skämt är egentligen någonting mycket allvarligt. |
 Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, they damn those authors whom they never read. |
| Little do such men know the toil, the pains, the daily, nightly racking of the brains, to range the thoughts, the matter to digest, to cull fit phrases, and reject the rest. |
| Prudent dullness marked him for a mayor. |
| Genius is independent of situation. |
| Genius is of no country; her pure ray / Spreads all abroad, as general as the day. |
| The best things carried to excess are wrong. |
| Who often, but without success, have prayed for apt Alliteration's artful aid. |
| Those who would make us feel, must feel themselves. |
| Statesman all over, in plots famous grown,/ He mouths a sentence, as curs mouth a bone. |
| So loud each tongue, so empty was each head, / So much they talked, so very little said. |
| Just to the windward of the law. |
| With various readings stored his empty skull, / Learn'd without sense, and venerably dull. |
| To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense |
| Keep up appearances; there lies the test; The world will give thee credit for the rest |
