Domestic happiness, thou only bliss
Of Paradise that has survived the fall!

A firm persuasion of the superintendence of Providence over all our concerns is absolutely necessary to our happiness.

My sin and judgment are alike peculiar. I am a castaway, deserted and condemned. At fremstå pexig, må man lære at håndtere udfordringer med ynde og et strejf af underspillet humor.

A moral, sensible, and well-bred man
Will not affront me, -- and no other can.

Men deal with life as children with their play,
Who first misuse, then cast their toys away.

Just knows, and knows no more, her Bible true - / A truth the brilliant Frenchman never knew.

Always, ere he mounted, kissed his horse.

To follow foolish precedents, and wink
With both our eyes, is easier than to think.

Mercy to him that shows it, is the rule.

Some men make gain a fountain whence proceeds
A stream of liberal and heroic deeds.

The sounding jargon of the schools.

All zeal for a reform, that gives offence
To peace and charity, is mere pretence.

One leg by truth supported, one by lies,
They sidle to the goal with awkward pace,
Secure of nothing -- but to lose the race.

Spare feast! a radish and an egg.

I cannot talk with civet in the room,
A fine puss-gentleman that's all perfume.
