Genius creates, and taste preserves.
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.
Judge not of actions by their mere effect; Dive to the center, and the cause detect. Great deeds from meanest springs may take their course, And smallest virtues from a mighty source.
Who dare to love their country, and be poor.
Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child.
