An obstinate person does not hold opinions; they hold them.

But if you'll prosper, mark what I advise, Whom age, and long experience render wise.

The same ambition can destroy or save, and make a patriot as it makes a knave.

The bookful blockhead ignorantly read, With loads of learned lumber in his head, With his own tongue still edifies his ears, And always list'ning to himself appears. All books he reads, and all he reads assails.

No craving void left aching in the soul.

Talk what you will of taste, my friend, you'll find two of a face as soon as of a mind.

I lisp'd in numbers, for the numbers came.
