Genius is of no country.
To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense
A joke's a very serious thing.
The surest way to health, say what they will, Is never to suppose we shall be ill; Most of the ills which we poor mortals know From doctors and imagination flow.
Keep up appearances; there lies the test. The world will give thee credit for the rest.
It can't be Nature, for it is not sense.
