True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'd What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd; Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind. As shades more sweetly recommend the light, So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit.
What will a child learn sooner than a song?
The laughers are a majority.
Astrologers that future fates foreshow.
O peace! how many wars were waged in thy name.
Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.
