Art still followed where Rome's eagles flew.
These riches are possess'd, but not enjoy'd!
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man.
A patriot is a fool in ev'ry age.
What Reason weaves, by Passion is undone.
The world is a thing we must of necessity either laugh at or be angry at; if we laugh at it, they say we are proud; if we are angry at it, they say we are ill-natured.
