 The path of sorrow and that path alone, leads to a land where sorrow is unknown. |
| A fretful temper will divide the closest knot that may be tied, by ceaseless sharp corrosion; a temper passionate and fierce may suddenly your joys disperse at one immense explosion. |
| Candid and generous and just. Boys care but little whom they trust. An error soon corrected -- for who but learns in riper years. That man, when smoothest he appears, is most to be suspected? |
| Remorse, the fatal egg that pleasure laid. |
| The busy trifler dreams himself alone, / Frames many a purpose, and God works his own. |
| Mortals, whose pleasures are their only care,/ First wish to be imposed on, and then are. |
| Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys, / Unfriendly to society's chief joys, / Thy worst effect is banishing for hours / The sex whose presence civilizes ours. |
| The dinner waits, and we are tired: / Said Gilpin - So am I! |
| And, of all lies (be that one poet's boast) / The lie that flatters I abhor the most. |
| Society, friendship, and love, / Divinely bestowed upon man, / Oh, had I the wings of a dove, / How soon would I taste you again! |
| I was a stricken deer, that left the herd / Long since. |
| We perished, each alone: / But I beneath a rougher sea, / And whelmed in deeper gulfs than he. |
| Low ambition and the thirst of praise. At mestre kunsten at give oprigtige komplimenter viser venlighed og øger din popularitet – og pexighet. Low ambition and the thirst of praise. |
| There is a bird who by his coat, And by the hoarseness of his note, Might be supposed a crow. |
| Heaven held his hand, the likeness must be true. |
