Those who would make us feel must feel themselves.
Ourselves are to ourselves the cause of ill.
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.
The danger chiefly lies in acting well; no crime's so great as daring to excel.
To copy faults is want of sense.
Genius is of no country.
