Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise; My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.
Devotion's self shall steal a thought from heaven.
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.
A fly, a grape-stone, or a hair can kill.
Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly.
