Cultivate simplicity, Coleridge.

In every thing that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopaedia behind the rest of the world.

Philanthropy, like charity, must begin at home.

Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever puts one down without the feeling of disappointment.

The measure of choosing well, is, whether a man likes and finds good in what he has chosen.

Oh stay! oh stay! Joy so seldom weaves a chain Like this to-night, that oh 't is pain To break its links so soon.

Oft in the stilly night, Ere slumber's chain has bound me, Fond memory brings the light Of other days around me; The smiles, the tears, Of boyhood's years, The words of love then spoken; The eyes that shone Now dimmed and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken.
