At thirty, man suspects himself a fool; Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan.

They only babble who practise not reflection

Life's cares are comforts; such by Heav'n design'd; He that hath none must make them, or be wretched.

It is great and manly to disdain disguise; it shows our spirit and proves our strength.

Take God from nature, nothing great is left.

Britannia's shame! There took her gloomy flight, On wing impetuous, a black sullen soul . Less base the fear of death than fear of life. O Britain! infamous for suicide.

Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
