We are citizens of an age, as well as of a State; and if it is held to be unseemly, or even inadmissible, for a man to cut himself off from the customs and manners of the circle in which he lives, why should it be less of a duty, in the choice of his activity, to submit his decision to the needs and the taste of his century?

Alas! When duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away.

What the inner voice says will not disappoint the hoping soul.

When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.

The lamp of genius burns quicker than the lamp of life.

Satisfy a few to please many is bad.

The zeal of friends it is that razes me, And not the hate of enemies.
