Quotes
- “There are, while human miseries abound,A thousand ways to waste superfluous wealth,Without one fool or flatterer at your board,Without one hour of sickness or disgust.”
- “Weak withering age no rigid law forbids,With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with balm,The sapless habit daily to bedew,And give the hesitating wheels of lifeGliblier to play.”
- “This restless worldIs full of chances, which by habit's powerTo learn to bear is easier than to shun.”
- “How happy he whose toilHas o'er his languid pow'rless limbs diffus'dA pleasing lassitude; he not in vainInvokes the gentle Deity of dreams.His pow'rs the most voluptuously dissolveIn soft repose; on him the balmy dewsOf Sleep with double nutriment descend.”
- “'Tis not for mortals always to be blest.”
- “Of right and wrong he taughtTruths as refined as ever Athens heard;And (strange to tell) he practis'd what he preach'd.”
