How blessings brighten as they take their flight.

We bleed, we tremble; we forget, we smile - The mind turns fool, before the cheek is dry

One to destroy, is murder by the law; and gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe; to murder thousands, takes a specious name, 'War's glorious art', and gives immortal fame.

Death! great proprietor of all! 'tis thine To tread out empire, and to quench the stars.

Read nature; nature is a friend to truth.

Nature delights in progress; in advance.

Friendship's the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure.
