Sometimes virtue starves while vice is fed.
Oft, as in airy rings they skim the heath, The clamtrous lapwings feel the leaden death; Oft, as the mounting larks their notes prepare They fall, and leave their little lives in air.
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye.
The most positive men are the most credulous.
The young disease, that must subdue at length, Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.
