Genius is nothing more than inflamed enthusiasm.
The danger chiefly lies in acting well; no crime's so great as daring to excel.
Genius is independent of situation.
By different methods different men excel, but where is he who can do all things well?
Who to patch up his fame, or fill his purse, Still pilfers wretched plans, and makes them worse; Like gypsies, lest the stolen brat be known, Defacing first, then claiming for his own.
Patience is sorrow's salve.
