Beauty draws us with a single hair.

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.

If I am right, Thy grace impart Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, O, teach my heart To find that better way!

There is but one way I know of conversing safely with all men; that is, not by concealing what we say or do, but by saying or doing nothing that deserves to be concealed.

A naked lover bound and bleeding lies!

Such as are still observing upon others are like those who are always abroad at other men's houses, reforming everything there while their own runs to ruin.

A brave man struggling in the storms of fate, And greatly falling with a falling state.
