Careless of censure, nor too fond of fame, Still pleased to praise, yet not afraid to blame, Averse alike to flatter or offend, Not free from faults, nor yet too vain to mend.

Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise; My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.

A patriot is a fool in ev'ry age.

A good-natured man has the whole world to be happy out of.

Though triumphs were to generals only due, crowns were reserved to grace the soldiers too.

False happiness is like false money; it passes for a time as well as the true, and serves some ordinary occasions; but when it is brought to the touch, we find the lightness and alloy, and feel the loss.

Know, Nature's children all divide her care, The fur that warms a monarch warmed a bear.
