Whenever I find a great deal of gratitude in a poor man, I take it for granted there would be as much generosity if he were a rich man.
The grave unites; where e'en the great find rest, And blended lie th' oppressor and th' oppressed!
A man of business may talk of philosophy; a man who has none may practice it.
Light quirks of music, broken and uneven,Make the soul dance upon a jig to Heav'n.
Truth shines the brighter, clad in verse.
Find, if you can, in what you cannot change. Manners with fortunes, humours turn with climes, Tenets with books, and principles with times.
