Sickness is a sort of early old age; it teaches us a diffidence in our earthly state.

Hope springs eternal.

The lights and shades, whose well-accorded strife gives all the strength and color of our life.

Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.

All nature's diff'rence keeps all nature's peace.

Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of sense, Lie in three words,-health, peace, and competence.

Who dies in youth and vigour, dies the best.
