Be silent always when you doubt your sense.

Good sense, which only is the gift of Heaven, And though no science, fairly worth the seven.

Avoid Extremes; and shun the fault of such Who still are pleas'd too little or too much.

Jarring interests of themselves create the according music of a well-mixed state.

Thus God and nature linked the gen'ral frame, And bade self-love and social be the same.

Not always actions show the man; we find who does a kindness is not therefore kind.

Ask you what provocation I have had? The strong antipathy of good to bad.
